Right. We should have FTS_PHYSICAL by default (which is easy to do with Andrey's changes). We should also provide a way to cause the mtree to do the old behavior if the user needs it (and they will for sybolic links for things like /tmp). So two changes need to happen. Once, the mtree should be changed and two the build system needs a minor tweak to allow a MTREE_FLAGS parameter to mtree.
