Patch file to make lsearch2 run on Windows

lsearch2 does not run on Windows because it can not deal with symbolic links. I
enhanced the implemenation of FSUtils.java (attached) to use NTFS hardlinks on
Windows. They are definitly supported on Windows XP, but should also work on
Windows 2000 and 2003 Server. Since hardlinks do not support directory links an
extra tool is needed: linkd.exe (from Microsoft). It can be downloaded for
free:

Installation:

1. Exchange the exisiting FSUtils.java file with the attached and re-compile
LuceneSearch.jar
2. Download the rktools package above and copy linkd.exe in the lsearch2
directory.

That's it.
