Symlink under windows #18

@balrok

Description

@balrok

It is possible on windows to use the bash (e.g., after installing the git commandline). Dotsync also runs fine on windows.

My issue:
Windows does not support symlinks on its filesystem

My temp-fix:
Replace all ln -s with cp -r

Better solution:
Detect operating-system or provide a flag, which does the same as -L but for copying instead of linking
Or use something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18641864/git-bash-shell-fails-to-create-symbolic-links
