I know, but nix won't work on FAT. It requires NTFS because it stores
different time stamps or such. I've tried it once and failed because of
that.

The reason has been another: I think nix is a really great tool and at
least I'd like to think about beeing able using native windows tools
one day. That's why I don't want to have to support symlinks for such a
optional feature. That's only my thought and interest.
