New submission from Eryk Sun: In 3.6, the Windows implementation of os.symlink can be simplified to directly call CreateSymbolicLinkW, since this function was added in Windows Vista. The support code for Py_CreateSymbolicLinkW can be removed from Modules/posixmodule.c. enable_symlink can also be removed because SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege gets enabled automatically.
