Support symlinks under Windows
nt.c, fileio.c: Fix sync comments.
config.h.in, dired-msw.c, emacs.c, event-msw.c, fileio.c, glyphs.c, lisp.h, nt.c, process-nt.c, realpath.c, sound.c, symsinit.h, sysdep.c, sysfile.h, syswindows.h, win32.c: Add support for treating shortcuts under Windows as symbolic links.
Enabled with mswindows-shortcuts-are-links (t by default). Rewrite
lots of places to use PATHNAME_CONVERT_OUT, which is moved to
sysfile.h. Add PATHNAME_RESOLVE_LINKS, which only does things
under Windows.
Add profiling section for expand_file_name calls.
nt.c, sysdep.c: Unicode-ize.
realpath.c: Renamed from readlink_and_correct_case. Fix some problems with
Windows implementation due to incorrect understanding of workings
of the function.
sound.c, ntplay.c, sound.h: Rename play_sound_file to nt_play_sound_file and pass
internally-formatted data to it to avoid converting out and back
again.
text.h: is_c -> is_ascii.

My PC chose the 21.5.10 development cycle to go up in a sickening cloud of smoke. :-( (Steve Youngs <youngs@xemacs.org>) Lots of updates from Ben Wing (as always), also from Andy Piper, Mike Sperber, and Stephen Turnbull with lots of documentation updates and fixes. One new exciting addition in this release is that the LDAP and PostgreSQL code has been extracted out of the core C code and moved to DSO's. We have Jerry James to thank/blame/worship for that.
