This detects symlink suppot on destination filesystem and not only in Python interpreter or OS. If symlinks are not supported, falls back to copy behavior.
This fixes some case reported in #92 and #409, without specifying
--always-copy
explicitly.Ideal case would be to invert
virtualenv
symlinking behavior - symlink only when explicitly requested.
