Hi Jason,

At the time CVS did not support links which is why this was the way it was.
Maybe git supports links, I haven't looked. If it does then yes we should
probably have them as links. Linking sander to sqm though is not very
elegant in my opinion. Since md.h and memory.h are really 'sander' files.
That said the reverse does not work because this stops AmberTools being
stand alone.

All the best
Ross
