git does not support symlinks and therefore our test programs will fail.
Attached is a stupid script that creates the links in test/sys/ for the
tests to run again.

We should probably change git to support symlinks or move the sys/ tree
into a tarball...

And the permissions got lost during the conversion, but that does not
hurt much.
