 Symlinking themes to the theme directory does not work.

 This feature is more important than ever, since developers usually use
 various build tools.
 The repository – almost everytime – looks something like this:


 {{{
 .
 ├── build
 ├── src
 ├── package.json
 └── readme.md
 }}}

 The build folder contains the generated theme. Currently it is necessary
 to use a script to copy the build files to the Wordpress theme folder,
 after a successful build.

 It would be much easier to symlink the build folder to the WP themes
 directory. This way you keep your repository and the WordPress themes
 folder clean.
