No, Windows clients will only ever see the "link foo" file. Windows
does not support symbolic links.

Second, If you did want to do this, you should use:

echo -n "link foo" > my_link

If you don't, the trailing newline will be treated as part of the
linked-to file. This is really just a hack, and not an officially
exported or supported API so it may change in the future.
