9.1043 symlink

POSIX specification:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/symlink.html

Gnulib module: symlink

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• On some systems, symlink(value,"name/") mistakenly creates a symlink: FreeBSD 7.2, AIX 7.1, Solaris 9.
• This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement always fails with EPERM: mingw, MSVC 9.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• Some file systems do not support symbolic links.
