    Description

      After introducing new methods like QFileInfo::isSymbolicLink(), QFileInfo::isShortcut(), QFileInfo::isJunction() it is possible to detect junctions on Windows, though it is still impossible to get the junctions target via QFileInfo::symLinkTarget() or QFile::symLinkTarget(). It would also be nice if QFile had the possibility to create a junction in contrast to the already existing QFile::link() method.
