My intent was not to blame windows for not honoring a cygwin(?)
invention, but for not having such useful functionality itself.
IIRC symbolic links predate cygwin, even predate linux for that
matter. In fact they predate windows as we know it today so it
is surprising that as so many other good ideas from UNIX made it
into MS products that links didn't. Hard or soft. That was my
point.
