You take smileys too seriously. Will two help? :-) :-)
Since the whole point is to reduce the number of inodes used by the WC,
replacing a file with a symlink accomplishes nothing (except, as you
noticed, portability problems). Although copying trees with symlinke
between (e.g.) Unix and Windows is usually not a problem, the symlink
just gets converted to an ordinary file.
