afaik, managing symlinks in SVN is fully possible if you want to target
"windows" (proper), as you will then get copies of the files (no
symlinks, no shortcuts, no emulations), which is what i expected and
which would have done no harm.

well, i guess that with this constraint, managing symlinks in SVN is
consistent on each platform as well. afaik, mixing mingw and cygwin is
to be considered "across platforms", which is where our problems come
from (because the checkouts (including symlinks) where done with cygwin
and the builds done with mingw (not knowing how to handle cygwin's symlinks)

anyhow, nevermind.
