I think we won't allow directory hardlinks anyway. Most systems don't, since
it can lead to weird effects like cyclic directory structures.
Besides, I don't see the point of doing such a thing. I find the current
approach (the application being responsible for presenting the localized
name) fully sufficient. We might need to introduce additional API for
working with localized file names/paths, if there's demand for more
applications (e.g. using localized names in the shell).
CU, Ingo
