I just got around to reading this. If you expect to be able to build on
Windows you shouldn't use symlinks anywhere. Microsoft's shortcuts is
not the same thing as a symlink so anything that depends on symlinks
would fail. There is a way of doing symlinks on Windows but it is so
obscure and generally unknown that almost noone knows about it and I
don't know if it would break if the disk is defragged. On top of
everything else you'd need a tool to create it and it's not generally
available and not supplied in Windows installations.

Just a heads-up.
