"""
 Look where the symbolic links are pointing, and convert the 
 feeds from links into real copies of the target files.
 
 This converts the following

 openwrt/feeds/<openwrt_packages>
 openwrt/package/feeds/packages/<some_links>
 
 into:
 
 openwrt/feeds/<openwrt_packages>
 openwrt/package/feeds/packages/<openwrt_packages>
 

 Instructions:
 
 - checkout openwrt
 - make package/symlinks (will require make menuconfig)
 - Run this script from the root of openwrt.
 - Copy the package/feeds/packages dir somewhere safe
 - Get openwrt again
 - copy the package directory back
 - Archvive the result as a fully self-contained openwrt release
   resplendent with accompanying packages.
