How is this IT supposed to pass on Windows? |
We could simply skip it. |
I have added a check that (as best as it can) solves the problem with Windows by checking if symlinks are supported at all. Test drive with Linux and Windows worked well. @michael-o WDYT? |

As there had been no further change requests, I hereby ask everybody for review. :-) |

This PR proposes an implementation of [MDEP-437]: It provides a new property
mdep.link=true(default isfalse) which lets thecopymojo produce symlinks instead of physical copies.The benefit is that the user of this mojo now has control whether to invest time and space for real copies, or whether to spare it and just live with symbolic links.
