You might be interested in the workaround Hannes did in mingw.git; he made
a wrapper script called 'cpio' using 'tar'.
I think that may be good enough as workaround, but I do not
think you would get the space saving from hardlinks that way.
FWIW, I'm thinking about changing the cpio -p (passthrough) part to use
'cp -l --parents --target-directory=...' instead of tar; this gives us hard
links, even on NTFS. But it needs GNU's cp, of course.
