Subject: [PATCH] Do not `ln -s` dotfiles.

Why does prezto create symbolic links for rcfiles?

1. It prevents prezto from simple updates (`git pull`) because the files are local to user’s machine.
2. It prevents from keeping local [dotfiles](http://dotfiles.github.com) repo. I’ve been doing symlinking with dotfiles for a while, for example.
