Silent crash if there are broken symlinks in the project folder #109

Open reitzig opened 6 years ago

If there are broken symlinks among the files copied to the tmp folder, ltx2any silently crashes.

First of all, make the error loud like all others, and have it point to _.err (which is written).

Second, copy2tmp "copies" symlinks be creating new ones to the target. Apparently, File.symlink does not like it if it's told to symlink to a broken symlink.
