> A good example of a place when we try to compile on other versions of Windows is the implementation of our symlink logic.
> In order to tell whether a path points at a symlink on Windows, we have to query the reparse point subsystem for information, and use an API from the driver DK to decide whether it is a symlink.
> Unfortunately, since we're not taking a dependency on the DDK here, we were forced to copy the struct from the DDK that we need to query the reparse point API for symlink data (a path well-work by Boost FS).
> To make sure we don't break, we should possibly set the version info in windows.hpp (see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff554695(v=vs.85).aspx) and then static assert on that in the reparsepoint.hpp file.
> This, of course, is just one example of a thing we'd want to be resilient to.
