Fixed a bug where on 32-bit systems, the library could enter an infinite loop if a WIM file was malformed in a specific way. + Added a workaround for a case where libntfs-3g may report + duplicate streams in an NTFS file. + Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are now automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.

This functionality is available through the new '--compact' option to 'wimapply' and 'wimextract' as well as new library flags.
