Would it be possible to add option to an installer to _not_ install
git-cmd form for builtins when installing on FAT28^W FAT32?
It is the InnoSetup based installer that does that. MSys has no way (yet)
to create hard links (at least that's the state of my knowledge).
I don't know about MSys, the runtime, but MSys's 'ln' and 'cp -l' both
create hardlinks on NTFS. And for this reason, 'git clone -l' does, too.
