EDIT: Just discovered that tar can dereference symlinks when packing ('h' option). This converts symlink to copies. Handy because symlinks are not supported on vfat
Happy scripting!
PS: I decided to let my lua.ipk install evrything in /mnt/free/_local/, with the intention to run be run from there (without symlinks in /usr/local). The install size is less than 1 MB, and my /mnt/free has 100MB free...
