be able to keep SYMLINK_MAX sized strings. (symlink_worker): Rework for long path names. When writing windows shortcuts, store pathname additionally "hidden" after the actual shortcut data to workaround size limitations of the description field. (symlink_info::check_shortcut): Drop file name parameter. Drop max file size check. Use NT functions. Use appended full path if available, description otherwise. Check symlink string length for not exceeding SYMLINK_MAX. Don't close file here. (symlink_info::check_sysfile): Drop file name parameter. Use NT functions. Check symlink string length for not exceeding SYMLINK_MAX. Don't close file here. (symlink_info::check_reparse_point): Drop file name parameter. Drop useless length checks. Allow SYMLINK_MAX length symlink strings. Don't close file here. (symlink_info::posixify): Allow SYMLINK_MAX length symlink strings. (symlink_info::check): Turn around checking for symlink file attributes. Use NT functions. Close symlink file here. * include/limits.h (PATH_MAX): Define as 32760. Change comment.
