Thanks Daniel,

P.S. WinVista finally introduced "real" symlinks. If everyone upgraded...<0002-Windows-shortcut-support.patch><0001-website-changes-switch-to-load-system-etc.patch>

Is there a good (and portable) *feature* or other mechanism to tell which version of Windows we're running on?

I'm not sure that this actually makes the problem go away. I know that Vista has symlinks, but have they replaced the old shortcuts, or are they just an additional feature. If the latter, we may still want to support following shortcuts. That would be especially true if making shortcuts is supported by the windows graphical shell and symlinks aren't.
