Gnulib module: symlink
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
On some systems, @code{symlink(value,"name/")} mistakenly creates a
symlink:
FreeBSD 7.2, AIX 7.1, Solaris 9.
@item
This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
always fails with @code{EPERM}:
mingw, MSVC 9.
@end itemize
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
Some file systems do not support symbolic links.
