Windows only supports hardlinks on anything older than Vista, only Vista
and the latest Server version support creating symlinks. At least
if I look at the MSDN's API docs for CreateSymLink. Apart from that, the
administrator needs to enable symlinks for the users, so its not
something you can rely on anyway.
