[PATCH 2/3] Optionally skip linking/copying the built-ins

[Johannes Schindelin <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

The dashed form of the built-ins is so passé. To save on development
time, and to support the idea of eventually dropping the dashed form
altogether, let's introduce a Makefile knob to skip generating those
hard-links.
