Subject: Fwd: [PATCH v2 0/7] Allow to choose symlink and socket type

after doing more experiments with native windows symlinks (and how
difficult it is to get permission to set them over the wire to
Windows), was wondering if we should allow fall back strategy if
creating windows style symlinks fails with STATUS_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD
then we should try NFS reparse point symlink.  Any opinions?
