In this case couldn't symlinks be automatically used on Windows Vista or
newer?
It seems simpler if the default behaviour is the same on all Windows flavours -
you can specify --symlinks if you're on Windows Vista or later.

Piotr Dobrogost added the comment:
It's simpler but is it better this way? I doubt. I think we should take
advantage of symlinks whenever we can and only fallback to copying if they are
not available.

New submission from Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr:
It seems that, regardless of whether I specify --symlinks or not, pyvenv always
creates symlinks:
$ pyvenv-3.3 env
$ tree env/
env/
|-- bin
| |-- activate
| |-- pydoc
| |-- pysetup3
| |-- python - python3.3
| |-- python3 - python3.3

Ok, then it might be nice to make the usage string (which is printed
with pyvenv --help) clearer.
Fair point, I'll update the help text to be clearer.
