[issue13412] No knowledge of symlinks on Windows

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

On Windows Vista and Windows 7, there should be a symlink directory:

C:\Documents and Settings -> .\Users

Perhaps a good test would be:

assert 'Documents and Settings' in os.listdir('C:\\')

As long as there aren't any i18n issues, and the system is a standard install, that test should only fail if os.listdir fails to return symlinks.
