Description:
------------
SplFileInfo::isLink()  Which returns False for Symbolic links on all  windows OS. we have a  File Symbolic link created  for a file and tried to test whether the referenced file  by SplFileInfo is symbolic link or not.


In the above script we have a symlink(filesymlink)created for a file 'testfile'  and tried to check with the file_exists function for symlink(filesymlink) which returns true and it returns false for the SplFileInfo::isLink().



Test script:
---------------
<?php
$symlinkname = "/path/to/filesymlink";
$fileinfo = new SplFileInfo($symlinkname);
var_dump(file_exists($symlinkname));
var_dump($fileinfo->isLink());
?>

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
bool(false)

Pierre, I think you played with symlinks on Windows before, can you add the magic needed, here?
