[Bf-funboard] Make Links, Materials

[Campbell Barton]

I see what you mean, its a subtle difference.

Make links effects object data, the reason I didnt see it as linked is

After linking data, you have linked dupes, were as linking materials 
dosnt result in a case where modifying one of the meshes materials 
modifies the list for those other objects.

But, its not copying the materials in the same way that copy modifiers 
works so I guess its still making links.
