It might be best not to use the word "lame" here, as it's often considered to be an ableist slur.

Symlinks in opt and LinkedKegs point directly at a keg in the cellar, so
only resolving one symlink should suffice, and make it clear what path
we are actually interested in.
Turns out that this doesn't really work at all. `brew install` _never_
reuses options in the first place, and using this option with `brew
upgrade` results in some nasty corner cases in passing options to
dependencies.
Let's check for e.g. --help anywhere in the ARGV array rather than just
the first value to avoid brew upgrade --help causing problems.

This reverts commit c32ab0a35a2dfa9b593f759ef0ae8b7af077b0b7.
There are other hard-coded uses of HEAD, in build_options for instance.
These all need to be fixed before enabling this.
Homebrew currently recognizes "--head" during the install process, but
rather than actually fetch HEAD it just nags the user to use the
correct option. Since we recognize the spelling anyway, this just
promotes the lowercase version to an official alias.

The traditional approach to installing the dependencies of a formula is
the following:
brew install `brew deps formula`
This approach ignores any options that are specified in the parent
formula. This pull request adds a --only-dependencies option to brew
install that installs the dependencies of a formula with optional flags,
but returns before installing the parent formula.

This allows overriding the "oldest CPU" behaviour - for instance, to
build Intel bottles for a newer CPU than Core 2, to build a PPC bottle
with or without Altivec on the same computer, etc.
