After your report I tried to check what'd need to follow symlinks, it'd need
modifications in the FileFindIter class in dcpp/File.cpp and in the
ShareManager::buildTree function. There are clear examples in the net about how
to detect a symlink but it wasn't clear to me how to follow them (getting the
real path the link points to).
Good luck :)

Bug description:
I want to share a directory which contains a number of files linked to via
symbolic links
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365680%28VS.85%29.aspx). However the
index/hashing thing seems to fail, skip, or otherwise just not work on large
numbers of the files. The files physical locations the links target are spread
across a number of physical locations (including some shared network locations)
and also includes some personal files in the same directory (hence sym linking
the files I want and not sharing the directory) that I do not wish to share.
Is there anything I can do about this? Symbolic links are supposed to be a file
system feature and transparent so I don't really see why this is failing to
work :(
