Description
The names of the generated symlinks like "call" or "send" are too generic and probably will clash sometime with other binaries with this name. An rsb- or something like that should be prefixed.

Normally, the symlink names are not chosen by the binary. Install rules or packaging infrastructure can add arbitrary prefixes and/or suffixes to the names as long as logger, send, etc is contained in the name.
For example, the CMake install rules use rsb-{logger,send,..}-clMAJOR.MINOR.
On Debian systems, the "alternatives" infrastructure is used to create customizable symlinks named rsb-{logger,send,...} which point a particular version of either the Common Lisp or C++ implementation.
The create-links option is merely a convenience for the case in which the programs are downloaded without proper installation.

Ok fine. Didn't know that the symlink logic only checks a substring.
