Uuuh..

$ deliver.pl -h
deliver -- version: 1.50.8.1
deliver: ERROR: invalid option -h
Usage:
deliver [-force] [-minor] [-check] [-zip] [-delete] [destination-path]
Options:
  -force        copy even if not newer
  -minor        deliver into minor
  -check        just print what would happen, no actual copying of files
  -zip          create additional zip files of delivered content
  -delete       delete files, use with care
  -link         hard link files into the solver to save disk space
  -deloutput    remove the output tree
The option -zip and a destination-path are mutually exclusive

deliver -link  will hardlink into the solver
deliver -deloutput will delete the output directory too

I wrote those exactly for this purpose.  At the time, we were trying to
build for powerpc on an aging machine with a very small disk.
