Add directory junction support

Open Karlson2k opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

This PR add support for directory junction creation as symlink. Directory junction is supported since Win2k and do not require admin rights or UAC disable. With new default symlink setting autotools' configure will use ln -s for symlinks instead of cp -pR which can speedup a lot building in some situations. Note: Cygwin already is able to read junction, this PR add only support for creation. Upstream patch: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2015-q3/msg00028.html
