Re: BUG #5674: initdb failed if path contains symlink

Initdb works well if the link is a junction (mklink /J).
We use junctions for tablespaces, but don't use symbolic links.
So, there are no problems unless users create symlinks by themselves.

OK, but bad news is that the bug is in VC 2008, but they have not
fixed it even in VC 2010. I'm not sure they will fix it in the future...
