PR #4713 had one thing missing, which is correctly setting the SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_DIRECTORY for directories, as Windows weirdly handles symlinks differently than unix-like systems.

This issue is discussed with @ethomson in #4713.

Thanks for your PR! I'm not familiar with the Win32 platform, so I'm deferring the actual decision to @ethomson.

@ethomson: would you agree that this should be part of v0.28.2?

And yes @pks-t I'm in favor of backporting this.
