What changed:
-------------
- Don't create native symlinks with target paths having long path prefixes
"\\?\" if the target path is shorter than MAX_PATH characters. This works
around a Windows 8.1 bug: The ShellExecuteW fails if the lpFile parameter
points to a native NTFS symlink with a target path prefixed with "\\?\".

Bug Fixes
---------
- Some devices, like, /dev/dsp are no longer detected due to the new
use of \Device\Null for devices which have no real handle.

- Cygwin could easily run out of file handles.
