Summary

0004990: ocamlbuild should use .bat/.cmd files instead of .lnk on windows

Description

.lnk files are only usable from explorer, not cmd or other shell, and this severely limits usefullness of this feature (actually I always switch it off with -no-links). On the other side .bad/.cmd files are usable both from explorer and shells. This of course only applies to executables (not docdir targets).
