 it is a file or directory link) with the .lnk extension.
 
 But, a unix symbolic link is NO file. So, returning such a link as
 FileSystemInfo doesn't make much sense. Just the name (or fullname) as
 information is not useful at all.

+Forgot to mention that when you call
+DirectoryInfo.GetFileSystemInfos() in a directory with ntfs hardlinks
+a hardlink to a directory is returned as FileSystemInfo with attribute
+ReparsePoint. 
+
+But, and that is the difference to the current mono implementation,
+the hard linked directory is also returned as a dir when you call
+DirectoryInfo.GetDirectories. 
+
+enhanced test case. please test it on windows and linux. On windows
+add a ntfs hardlink to a directory.
