Yes, if you are keen to try/use it, I will take a stab at it tomorrow.
Shouldn't be anything complicated (famous last words).

No, I don't think this will work. If you try to install a "source"
symlink, build2 will just follow it to the target and install that.

I think the simplest temporary workaround would be to just create the
symlink manually in the installation directory after running build2.
