Those links allow one .exe to be substituted for another.  

For instance, mkisofs.exe is not really available on windows; however, genisoimage.exe offers the same functionality and takes the command line parameters.  Using mklink mkisofs.exe genisoimage.exe, you create a file system entry for mkisofs.exe that points to the same file as genisoimage.exe

Hey,

I tried to set up a dev environment on Windows. My advice to you is don't. Get an Ubuntu VM or go Mac based.

I know it's possible and good to at least establish that it does work on all platforms, however if you are doing dev work, it's just painful. Well, it was for me.

If you do get it working then I would love you to write up/document (or even better - script up) your work.

Cheers,

Alex
