PS. here's a cmd.com output of a failed symlink in an Ardour session (using a-fluidsynth)

also hardcode slash.

After changing all four locations using LILV_DIR_SEP. Creating symlinks works properly IFF the host is running with Administrator Privileges (on Windows only admins can create symlinks).

Without admin privileges liblilv falls back to use hardlinks. That works only for the first step: The link to externals is created correctly if the file is on the same drive. However the 2nd hardlink from the plugin's state-folder to ..\..\..\externals\file fails with error 6 "Invalid handle".

Should be properly fixed as of 1ca6608 (actual fixes in various bits throughout the preceding 8 commits or so).

In the process I removed the symlink thing entirely and just use hard links there.
