Attached is a patch that considers directory symlinks and junction points equivalent. I'm struggling with the test -- would it be acceptable to only run this test on platforms that have mklink /j (Windows Vista and higher)? I've looked at programmatic means of creating junction points, but it involves enough Win32 interop to make it a candidate for a module all by itself (it's REALLY messy.) Any ideas? Thanks!
