[darcs-users] darcs patch: Resolve issue1173: support hard links on NTFS.

There are some limitations:
  - I didn't modify maybe_relink.c, so it doesn't work in darcs
optimize --relink.
  - It breaks compatibility on Windows versions before Windows 2000.
  - It works only on NTFS, but fails gracefully (it reverts to old
behaviour of copying files).

Now, I really think our Windows-supporting time is better spent on
fixing issues than to preserve compatibility with operating systems
from almost 10 years ago :).

Is support for Windows 9x/ME/NT4/NT3.x important to somebody on darcs-users?
