As Alan says, we can't run this test in an automated fashion,
we have to make this a manual test.
I would expect that the tests are run with admin privileges on some
systems so the test could just silently pass when it can't create the
sym link. That might be preferable to a manual tests that is run rarely.
I think we should have two flavors. A manual one which is stringent, forcing
to tester to run with elevated privileges if necessary, and the other
which passes
if link cannot be created. Amy did something similar with a pack200 test.
