That should work (haven't tried it), but I find symlinks to be a great
way of confusing oneself and others, especially anyone who doesn't know
the target has a symlink pointing to it.  It obviously would make it
difficult to place the "app" on a Windows system, unless you're gutsy
enough to play around with fsutil.  Doing it with a <Context> element
preserves platform independence.
