  1. files: avoid surprises when linking files 

    In the unlikely but possible event that a directory is created in
place of a target file *after* `checkLinkTargets` but *before*
`linkGeneration`, currently the link is created *inside* the directory,
which is surprising.

To avoid this, use `ln -T` and bail if it fails.

Ideally, `checkLinkTargets` and `linkGeneration` should be more tightly
coupled.
