Jason - I'm responding on a phone - I haven't confirmed anything yet (and
hadn't yet seen your examples when I was typing).

Alex - the Windows API also requires elevation - that's what we have to do
in 3.2+ as well. The symlink calls require a specific privilege which is
only granted when elevated, even for the mklink program.
