screw backward compatability! :)Why carry around bandaids on bandaids for an OS that is 10 years out of support?
Obviously not ripe for 3.6 or maybe even 3.7, but at some point we should just put a stick in the sand and say this .lnk crap is dead and you have to either compile it back in with an IFDEF or a CYGWIN var. And while we're at it use OS-native links instead of Junctions. I'm not sure how that came about but Junctions are unhelpful.
