+ /* Compatability notes:
+ *
+ * On UNIX, an absolute symbolic link begins with '/'; everything else
+ * is a relative symbolic link. (Quite simple compared to the various
+ * ways to provide Windows paths.)
+ *
+ * To change a UNIX relative symbolic link to Windows format, we only
+ * need to translate it to UTF-16LE and replace backslashes with forward
+ * slashes. We do not make any attempt to handle filename character
+ * problems, such as a link target that itself contains backslashes on
+ * UNIX. Then, for these relative links, we set the reparse header
+ * @flags field to SYMBOLIC_LINK_RELATIVE.
+ *
+ * For UNIX absolute symbolic links, we must set the @flags field to 0.
+ * Then, there are multiple options as to actually represent the
+ * absolute link targets:
+ *
+ * (1) An absolute path beginning with one backslash character. similar
+ * to UNIX-style, just with a different path separator. Print name same
+ * as substitute name.
+ *
+ * (2) Absolute path beginning with drive letter followed by a
+ * backslash. Print name same as substitute name.
+ *
+ * (3) Absolute path beginning with drive letter followed by a
+ * backslash; substitute name prefixed with \??\, otherwise same as
+ * print name.
+ *
+ * We choose option (3) here, and we just assume C: for the drive
+ * letter. The reasoning for this is:
+ *
+ * (1) Microsoft imagex.exe has a bug where it does not attempt to do
+ * reparse point fixups for these links, even though they are valid
+ * absolute links. (Note: in this case prefixing the substitute name
+ * with \??\ does not work; it just makes the data unable to be restored
+ * at all.)
+ * (2) Microsoft imagex.exe will fail when doing reparse point fixups
+ * for these. It apparently contains a bug that causes it to create an
+ * invalid reparse point, which then cannot be restored.
+ * (3) This is the only option I tested for which reparse point fixups
+ * worked properly in Microsoft imagex.exe.
+ *
+ * So option (3) it is.
