…file to test symlinking

Some users have reported that they can symlink files but not
directories.
broccolijs/node-symlink-or-copy#35

It is not entirely clear when this can happen.

@joliss although we don't have a handy reproduction (i don't have a windows computer handy), I do believe file and folder symbolic link permissions may diverge. We have the scenario @ef4 debugged, but based on why their are permission issues with symlinks at all it seems reasonable. As the permissions exist do to varying levels of paranoia regarding symlinks as vectors to replace DLLs/files etc.

maybe @felixrieseberg has some memories/ideas re: ^

@garethbosch has a local reproduction, maybe I can work with him to figure out what's going on.
