I found out that we actually do support hard links on Windows. This can
be simplified a bit by depending on unix-compat >=0.5 which now has the
compatibility wrapper for the two calls (createLink and linkCount).

What is not yet supported on Windows is re-linking as required by 'darcs
optimize relink'. See maybeRelink which wraps a foreign call to a C
procedure which doesn't do anything on Windows.

Cheers
