This PR does two things:
The first one is to make it easier to package the software for a package manager. Often you want to "install" to a staging directory which is then compressed and turned into a system package. If the symlinks are absolute to that staging location, the installed package will have broken symlinks.
The second change is because it allows installing multiple versions without breaking the others. If the least versioned target is the real one, the more versioned targets will incorrectly be updated if someone installs a different version that overwrites
