collectstatic with CachedStaticFilesStorage does not create symlinks

[Jesse]

Running python manage.py collectstatic -l does not symlink the files with hash names.

Example:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  1603 Mar 10 14:05 nav.6f350bdb43ca.js
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    66 Mar 10 14:05 nav.js -> /path/to/static/js/nav.js

Note that the post processed nav.6f350bdb43ca.js is not symlinked.

I believe this is by design to prevent hashed files content from changing if the original files changes.
