> The enabling of test_preserve_symlinks() test in TestFSFolder.c has heretofore
> been keyed off of the existence of the unistd.h header file.  This has caused
> errors under Strawberry Perl, which provides the unistd.h header but without a
> symlink() function.  The solution is to disable the test based on whether the
> _WIN32 symbol is defined.
> We also add a test which uses windows.h and CreateSymbolicLink() rather than
> unistd.h and symlink().  However it must remain disabled by default, since
> CreateSymbolicLink() fails unless the user running the test has administrator
> privileges.
