Add allow_symlinks_before_srcdir config setting
can be used to avoid a security check that is a good safe default, but problimatic overkill in some situations. I decided to underdocument this, because the option looks ugly, and I don't want people randomly turning it on because it looks like a good idea. So if you need it, you'll get an error message mentioning how to fix it.
