[darcs-devel] [patch1732] use cryptonite instead of cryptohash and random

[Ben Franksen]

Ben Franksen <ben.franksen at online.de> added the comment:

We should also support hard links on Windows. NTFS has them and the 
possibility that the filesystem does not support hard links is 
covered anyway (I have been using a FAT formatted memory stick with 
no problems). We already depend on unix-compat which gives us 
portable hard-linking via re-exports from either unix or win32 
package and I checked that hard-linking is supported. There would be 
a little more to do to support replacing a file with a hard link but 
that shold be easy.

I can do the coding but I need somone to test that it works on 
Windows and perhaps other OSes.

See issue2604 for another part of Darcs.Util.Compat that we can and 
should get rid of.
