Hardlinks on NTFS work great when you are using them only from within the
cygwin environment. What happens when I modify one of the hardlinked files
from outside cygwin. For example, if I execute 'ln MyDocument.doc
MyLinkedDocument.doc' and then were to edit one of the files in Word or
some other non-cygwin app.
