It would be very helpful if rsync could include a --convert-links option, such
that absolute symlinks could be translated to relative symlinks, and then
copied via the -l option. This would help greatly with directory structures
created by 3rd party tools that I have no control over, so I cannot force them
to create relative links instead. 

Cheers,

Mike
