QFile, QFileInfo ::exists() Windows shortcut (.lnk) bug

By the Qt doc QFile and QFileInfo should handle the Windows shortcut files (.lnk) as ordinary files and should not behave like a symlink or alias, just as a normal file.

In most cases it does, but exists() does not. If a Windows shortcut (.lnk) file points to a non-existing file both QFile's and QFileInfo's exists() method will return false for the .lnk file although the .lnk does exists only it's target does not.
