I have arrangements which are symbolic links from outside the source  
tree, and these arrangements are placed into the tarballs just fine.   
That is, I didn't encounter your problem.

It could also be the find command that needs to be updated, not the  
tar command.  Can you try replacing the line

	find arrangements/$(filter %/$*,$(THORNS)) \

by

	find arrangements/$(filter %/$*,$(THORNS))/. \

in the file Formaline/src/make.configuration.deps?  That is, you would  
append "/." (slash-dot) to the directory name.  Does this solve your  
problem?
