There are no ntfs links. What appears as a link on GUI level is
nothing but a plain file with special content, so that
os.path.islink() tells the truth. Windows "links" are a special
Windows feature (shortcuts) and must be detected via Win32 api
calls or by searching for content characteristics of shortcuts.
