Windows users have complained that it puts temporary files in places they

the GNU mantra of no arbitrary limits, then we could declare ELOOP at

Does Hurd have SYMLOOP_MAX? If so, then yes, that would be a reasonable

Hurd, without imposing a limit not already present by the system?

First of all, newer windows do have symlinks.
Does mingw support them natively? If not, then we should get that fixed

Hi Paul,
Just want to keep this on your radar...
Also, please note that I've made some small improvements to the script,

If you'd like me to synchronize before you review, please ask.

Should the ylwrap script be autoupdated in gnulib/build-aux from
automake, like compile/depcomp/etc./etc.?
