[TYPO3-dev] Good for windows, doubtful for others

[Dennis Cheung]

Hi,


This is not really an redundancy problem of files.
Windows's NTFS filesystem also have hardlink and junctions.
Beside, not all linux have symbolic link. It is depends on which
filesystem using.

This is a bug of confuse user.
This is a setup and installation program.
This add addition complex to maintance.

I have an example of typo3 is going to tidy up itself:
    it is removing global extensions in 4.0.
