The tentative solution is attached. May you test it?

The previous discussion was mostly about how to best approach the solution.

Subject: [PATCH] org-babel-tangle: Do note erase the existing tangle target
 before overwriting

* lisp/ob-tangle.el (org-babel-tangle): Do not remove the existing
tangle target file, if any.  `write-region' later will overwrite it
anyway, while removing may be unexpected if the existing target is a
symlink.
