It actually seems to be a very weird problem in copy-platform, and I
can't figure out why. On my i386 machine, copy-platform contains a
bunch of lines like this:
[ ! -e about.html ] && ln -s $eclipse/about.html about.html
[ ! -e artifacts.xml ] && ln -s $eclipse/artifacts.xml artifacts.xml

And on 64-bit platforms, all of those lines are failing with "File
exists" which shouldn't be POSSIBLE, should it?! (But only with this
one plugin, and not with others ...)

I took a look at the contents of this file from the 64-bit version of
eclipse-pde, but it seems to be basically identical so no luck there.

Hmph. Back to $DAYJOB now ...
