Okay.

Hmmm... Why not?

Thanks!

There is a '#undef HAVE_READLINK' in windows-NT/config.h{,.in,.in.in},
so I am assuming that readlink() is needed because xreadlink() will need
to call it.

I am under the impression that windows will therefore need a readlink()
because xreadlink() needs it because other things call xreadlink().

        Thanks,
