What the topic says.

The link is hardcoded in sdk.py and would need an exception for the mingw-toolchain (or any other non-UNIX toolchain).

The symlink is harmless for regular use, but it is also pointless and should be removed if possible - you never know when some weird company script will choke on it!

Looks like it hardcoded in sdk.py and would need to be abstracted into some of the earlier functions that code declares.

Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99
