## symlinks
Apparently new versions of Windows have something very like symlinks.
(Or really, 3 or so things not entirely unlike symlinks and all different.)
Stackoverflow has some details.
Make git use them, as it (apparently) does not yet.
(What **does** git do on Windows when it clones a repo with symlinks?)
## POSIX
Lots of ifdefs and pain to deal with POSIX calls in the code base.
Or I could try to use Cywin.
