# NuttX uses symbolic links to configure platform-specific directories into
# the build system.  This works great except for when a Windows native
# toolchain is used in a Cygwin environment.  In that case, symbolic
# links do not work correctly when accessed from the Windows native toolchain;
# rather, just look link files with the extension .lnk
#
# In this environment, the build system will work around this using this script
# as a replacement for the 'ln' command.  This scrpt will simply copy the
# directory into the expected positiion.
