Will Windows junctions (for the path; plus the file name) work, here, Andy?

NTFS junctions are for directories only.. For files and directories, one could
use "mklink" on Vista and newer, with the caveats mentioned here
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link#Windows_Vista_symbolic_link>.
Oh and
for all those wondering, this still isn't enough to be a drop-in replacement
for Cygwin's symbolic links unfortunately. If you're curious about this, see
the email archives for discussions about it.
