And even if it had worked, it wouldn't really matter, since we don't
actually want to *run* the system under MinGW/msys, just build it.
I think the idea of implementing in symlinks for non-compliant platforms in
md.c has some merit. FWIW, looks like that is how cygwin implements
symlinks...
Cheers,
Claudio

Why can't we use MS Win32 shortcut files to simulate symlinks? MinGW
doesn't do it, so I suppose it isn't possible.
