The Cygwin cmake has "cmake -E create_symlink". The Windows native
cmake does not. All the Cygwin implementation actually does is create
shortcuts, and Cygwin appears to understand these as symlinks. Are the
notions of "shortcut" and "symlink" sufficiently similar, that it's
reasonable to include this capability for Windows in general? Or is
Cygwin simply brighter than Windows is going to be about how to make use
of them?
Motive: to work around the libwhatever.dll.a libwhatever.a collision
problem in CMake 2.4.3, a symlink would be useful. I can do this on
Cygwin easily enough, but not on MinGW because it uses the Windows
native CMake.
Cheers,
