Synopsis: Symbolic links not followed. State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Thu Feb 19 19:58:01 PST 1998 State-Changed-Why: Those are not symbolic links so any documentation on symbolic links does not apply. They are an ugly hack attempting to provide similar functionality without providing proper support by the filesystem for such a feature.
It is possible that explicit support will be added for Win32 shortcuts at some point. That will be tracked in the existing PR#1753.
