Surely it would be better to test this directly, by running 'ln -s' and seeing
it fail, than to look at operating system names.
'symbolc' is misspelled.
gnulib-tool uses 'true' and 'false' for boolean flags. See, e.g.,
'have_associative'.
Use a positive flag 'have_symlinks' rather than a negative flag
'no_symlink_support'; that's less confusing and uses the existing naming
convention better.
If symbolic links are not available, it's better for 'gnulib-tool --symbolic' to
quickly fail instead of quietly succeed without using symbolic links.
