making hardlinks in java is really feasible.
It seems hard to not depend on _something_ which provides shell-like
functionality, if not a shell itself. I also suspect that java
wouldn't be up to the task.
The nice thing about using python (or some other cross-platform
scripting language) is that it abstracts away platform details.
os.path.join('a', 'b') -> 'a/b' on linux and 'a\b' on windows.
is it something that can be done natively in python?
os.link(src, dest)
