Supporting symlinks seems like a very useful addition. I'm wondering if there is a deeper reason this wasn't merged in? Thanks

@cdleonard

I remember that this didn't work on windows and never bothered fixing it.

This was at a time where I was exploring if I should use this library - the answered ended up being no.

Somebody else can try to revive this and check on windows.

Can I ask which library you ended up using @cdleonard ?
