I really think it would be nicer if we could create .lnk files. But I'm
okay with magic header files if it is easier, and gets done sooner :)

I certainly would like to get some support. pybaz used to (still does?)
have symlinks, which caused problems trying to get it checked out (even
under cygwin, tla/baz's symlink support was iffy). The symlink wasn't
required, just a convenience, so it sucked not being able to checkout
the project.
