[Boost-users] Junctions on NTFS

Hi, we started using junctions to some degree, and it is rather unfortunate that boost doesn't support junctions (boost::filesystem_is_symlink will always return false on NTFS filesystems). We are using 1.38. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1681 has a patch, is there a specific reason why this patch didn't make it to stable version? tv
