> In general, the winutils symlink command rejects attempts to create symlinks 
> targeting a destination file that does not exist.  However, if given a 
> symlink destination with forward slashes pointing at a file that does exist, 
> then it creates the symlink with the forward slashes, and then attempts to 
> open the file through the symlink will fail.
