Creating symlinks in windows is still pain and not working. In a bash on windows in 99% of the cases ln -s silently behaves like cp -r causing trouble as this is something very different.

For #152 we need to use mklink instead. This can still be pain due to UAC or other permission issues but we can echo some hint and exit on error. Then windows users can decide to disable the shared software feature or tweak their OS such that symlinks are working properly with mklink.
