Junctions only work for directories, not for files.
In theory, you should be able to use mklink to create a hardlink on
previous versions of Windows, but I'm not sure if it'll work. But we want
symlinks here, not hardlinks, and they are simply not supported on earlier
versions of Windows.
It is alerady documented that it doesn't work on Windows prior to Vista. I
think this is fine. What we could add is a specific version check to
pg_standby to have it emit a "not supported on this windows version" error
if it's not supported. But I think that's overkill - it will still fail,
and it's well documented that it's not *supposed* to work.
Yeah, vote +1:-)
Probably, the equipment which is not Symbolic Link is needed in order
to correspond to XP and 2K. It is hard to use rather than 'SymbolicLink'.
It will be enough if notice are written to a document.
