Title:
  Support Win32 Symbolic Links when indexing share

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I want to share a directory which contains a number of files linked to
  via symbolic links (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
  us/library/aa365680%28VS.85%29.aspx). However the index/hashing thing
  seems to fail, skip, or otherwise just not work on large numbers of
  the files. The files physical locations the links target are spread
  across a number of physical locations (including some shared network
  locations) and also includes some personal files in the same directory
  (hence sym linking the files I want and not sharing the directory)
  that I do not wish to share.

  Is there anything I can do about this? Symbolic links are supposed to
  be a file system feature and transparent so I don't really see why
  this is failing to work :(
