Because somebody has to implement it ;-). And then I'm not sure that the tool-chain (i.e. compilers etc.) will be able to handle Windows-shortcuts. Does anybody know, or has visual studio available to try it out, whether e.g. CL.exe and RC.exe can handle Windows-shortcuts? What about MINGW, GnuWin32 and Intel compilers?
