DokanSSHFS symbolic link support about dokan HOT 8 OPEN

This would rate that higher!

This would indeed be pretty interesting to have...
but it also opens some questions as to "how" this support should be 
implemented/presented...

now it could be to present the link as a "shortcut" (.lnk) file,... but this 
solution 
would probably render stuff needlessly complex.

the (symbolic) links could also be presented as "hardlinks" instead,... with 
over-
filesystem-support,... so the link is presented as the file/dir it points to.  
removing (over sshfs) this link... could remove the link.  
One could check with samba implementation on how this problem is resolved... 
for 
instance I believe there was an option for smbd that would - when smb-client 
was 
adjusting a "linked" file - to copy target file to link-file location, and 
replace 
link with that adjusted copy,... 

Vista and higher support symbolic links on NTFS, this might be possible for 
Dokan too?
(although it needs to gracefully degrade on <Vista)

I think this is a priority enhancement, right now I can't use DokanSSHFS in my 
work because of this problem, I have to look at other options like NetDrive 
over FTP.

The hardlink presentation sounds good, though, maybe it could be presented as 
Junctions, which are the closest to sym links in Windows. 

Not using DokanSSHFS for symlink lack

sshfs has "-o follow_symlinks".
Why can't we?

DokanSSHFS is rather useless to me without this feature.
I guess I'm going back to using filezilla and X over ssh with putty. :/

Perhaps Cygwin's method of handling symlinks on Windows could be used:
