+
+        Support symlinks on latest versions of MS-Windows.
+        * w32.c: Include winioctl.h and aclapi.h.
+        (is_symlink, chase_symlinks, enable_privilege, restore_privilege)
+        (revert_to_self): Forward declarations of static functions.
+        <static BOOL g_b_init_get_security_info>:
+        <g_b_init_create_symbolic_link>: New static flags.
+        (globals_of_w32): Initialize them to zero.
+        (GetSecurityInfo_Proc, CreateSymbolicLink_Proc): New typedefs.
+        (map_w32_filename): Improve commentary.  Simplify switch.
+        (SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_DIRECTORY): Define if not defined in system
+        headers (most versions of MinGW w32api don't).
+        (get_security_info, create_symbolic_link)
+        (get_file_security_desc_by_handle, is_symlink, chase_symlinks):
+        New functions.
+        (sys_access, sys_chmod): Call 'chase_symlinks' to resolve symlinks
+        in the argument file name.
+        (sys_access): Call unc_volume_file_attributes only if
+        GetFileAttributes fails with network-related error codes.
+        (sys_rename): Diagnose renaming of a symlink when the user doesn't
+        have the required privileges.
+        (get_file_security_desc_by_name): Renamed from
+        get_file_security_desc.
+        (stat_worker): New function, with most of the guts of 'stat', and
+        with addition of handling of symlinks and support for 'lstat'.  If
+        possible, get file's attributes and security information by
+        handle, not by name.  Produce S_IFLNK bit for symlinks, when
+        called from 'lstat'.
+        (stat, lstat): New functions, call 'stat_worker'.
+        (symlink, readlink, careadlinkat): Rewritten to create and resolve
+        symlinks when the underlying filesystem supports them.
