[issue13412] No knowledge of symlinks on Windows

Thanks Bryan, that would be great.

The elevated privs problem could potentially be avoided by creating symlinks using the Win32 API directly. As long as the appropiate group policy is set, one does not require admin privs to create symlinks. Perhaps symlink creation/deletion on Windows could even be integrated into the Python class library?
