    Don't compile in unused reparse point symlink code · c52a9554
    Steve French authored
    Recent Windows versions now create symlinks more frequently
    and they do use this "reparse point" symlink mechanism.  We can of course
    do symlinks nicely to Samba and other servers which support the
    CIFS Unix Extensions and we can also do SFU symlinks and "client only"
    "MF" symlinks optionally, but for recent Windows we currently can not
    handle the common "reparse point" symlinks fully, removing the caller
    for this. We will need to extend and reenable this "reparse point" worker
    code in cifs and fix cifs_symlink to call this.  In the interim this code
    has been moved to its own config option so it is not compiled in by default
    until cifs_symlink fixed up (and tested) to use this.
