Not sure.. Earnie?

I added the code to print the result of get_this_pwd();

it got it ok as /home/now3d/tests

I guess this means that ln -s is actually does a copy. ln --version
shows ln (fileutils) 4.1

(This is an MSYS/cygwin style port exe)

I have ran through all the tests and zipped up the results:

1) MSVC Release build, MSYS with normal test script

2) MSVC Release build, MSYS with -debug test script

3) MinGW Release build, MSYS with -debug test script
