I decided it was easier to make a new applet than to add an option to ```ln```. With the latest [prerelease](https://frippery.org/files/busybox/prerelease) you can do ```jn dir junction```, where ```dir``` must...

The old 'off-by-one' problem: ```MultiByteToWideChar()``` includes the terminating NUL in its return value so my string lengths were wrong. Should be fixed in the latest prerelease.
