nsLocalFileWin.cpp

[Brodie Thiesfield]

Hi,

In xpcom/io/nsLocalFileWin.cpp there is some code to do shortcut 
resolution for paths like:

c:\foo\shortcut.lnk\bar\file.txt

This appears to be designed to resolve to 'c:\hello\bar\file.txt' for a 
tree like:

c:\
  foo\
    shortcut.lnk -> c:\hello\
  hello\
    bar\
      file.txt
However calling the Win32 function CreateFile() on the same path will 
fail. Is there any reason to support functionality which the OS doesn't 
support itself? i.e. is this functionality being used inside Mozilla?

If not, then this code should be removed. It would simplify path 
resolution and save a few bytes.

Regards,
Brodie
