Correctly create a symbolic link in a port

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on porting a BitTorrent client designed to run on
the I2P network. While I originally intended to prioritize porting other
tools, such as the Monero CLI [1] and SimpleX Chat CLI [2] [3], I
unfortunately ran into challenges that were too complex for me to solve.
Although I received some help with the Monero port, we were unable to
achieve a fully functional result.

At this point, I am focusing on this BitTorrent client, as I find it
very useful to be able to run it as a background service on torrent
seeding servers. However, I have encountered a specific problem that I
have yet to resolve: in order to enable the command line interface, a
symbolic link must be created from the "XD" binary to "XD-CLI". Despite
several attempts, I continue to encounter errors when building the package.

I have attached the current state of the port to this email.

Best regards,
David.
