Hi, I'm not sure if this the right place to post this since I'm not sure if you deal directly with Windows ports. Anyway, I'd like to suggest that for Windows ln would create NTFS junctions whenever possible and politely refuse when not possible.
Junction support would be especially nice in ls (and maybe in some other utils as well) since it already recognizes similar functionality on Un*x side (-F parameter).
There is at least some amount of existing (and working) code for creating and deleting junctions available at http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction although I'm not sure about the licensing.
PS. Please include my address in follow-ups as I have not subscribed to the list.
