[issue12084] os.stat() on windows doesn't consider relative symlink

[Jason R. Coombs]

Jason R. Coombs <jaraco at jaraco.com> added the comment:

To the extent that we can, we should try to support relative symlinks. Absolute symlinks aren't the right thing in some cases, where the symlinks should be movable with their targets. I use relative links extensively.

Is it worth considering changing the current working directory to the same directory as the symlink when calling DeviceIoControl?
