Presumably "follow" (and "follow_fast"?) should be no-ops on Win32 since
symbolic links are not supported on that OS.
Seems quite sensible.
Is this a new problem ? I can't believe nobody noticed it until now...
On perl-5.8.6 I get this from the test script in the bug report:
not ok 1: The stat preceding -l _ wasn't an lstat at
D:/Perls/perl586/lib/File/Find.pm line 532.
Earlier perls all the way back to 5.6.0 at least all do this too.
They all work if all the "follow => 1"'s are changed.
