Actionable things are to test node 0.7.9 on windows 7 (revisiting the permissions issues we saw with deleting symlinks), and also revisit whether we can cleanup Mapnik's hold of various files better to avoid problems deleting them (basically figure out if this was the problem in deleting symlinks rather than node specific issues with how they were created). |

interesting seeing boost struggle with this as well: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4153 |

… symlinks on vista and above and millstone will handle falling back to copying for XP - refs #1504
|
with millstone changes (linking files instead of directories) and new node (v0.8.9) symlinks are now working great on windows 7, so TileMill 0.10.0 now uses then. Closing. |

As of node 0.7.9...
It appears the libuv is better now at detecting symlinks: igorzi/libuv@4c5b70f
And node can create symlinks as junction points:
nodejs/node-v0.x-archive@39e2552
