I just realized that the commit that broke en-hunspell came from this PR.  THis
is what I just posted:

This line might be wrong.
intent: I'm not aware of anyway trying to install by stage via
hardlinks.  What is trying to be accomplished here?

# make -V INSTALL_DATA
install -lh -m 0644

So the -lh does indeed create hardlinks but this only works on FreeBSD.
 This command is not supported on DragonFly.

This is the only port in the tree that uses this method to populate the
stage directory (that I am aware of) so that's why I'd like to know what
problem this is addressing and why standard installation command cannot
(or maybe should not) be used.

Thanks,
John
===============

Can somebody explain why hardlinks are being used for installation?  It's the
only port in the tree doing that.
