If the `src` in the Cellar of a formula is a symlink to another dir in the same Cellar (for example `Frameworks/QtGui.framework` is a symlink to `lib/QtGui.framework`), then we should make a symlink directly instead of possibly creating an empty dir. This is needed because Ruby's `find` does not follow symlinks (newer versions can, but we have to support 10.8 for a long time). Currently this probably only occurs for Qt, where we put symlinks into the Cellar/Frameworks and the frameworks linking code is a bit special to create a directory to "merge" together different versions of the same framework from different formulae. See `python` and `python3`; both install `Python.framework` and only one can be the `Current` but the other should still be put into `Python.framework/Versions`. Therefore `Python.framework` has to be a dir and no symlink.
