Back in mid-March, I'd posted code for creating junctions and getting the 
target of a junction.  It's pure Ruby, but easy to translate to C.  Here it 
is again.

The source is 17k, but that's because it includes a pile of constants for 
implementing future file ops, and simple routines to convert between unicode 
and ascii.

Hope this helps,
