+Linktastic
+
+Linktastic is an extension of the os.link and os.symlink functionality provided
+by the python language since version 2.  Python only supports file linking on
+*NIX-based systems, even though it is relatively simple to engineer a solution
+to utilize NTFS's built-in linking functionality.  Linktastic attempts to unify
+linking on the windows platform with linking on *NIX-based systems.
+
+Usage
+
+Linktastic is a single python module and can be imported as such.  Examples:
+
+# Hard linking src to dest
+import linktastic
+linktastic.link(src, dest)
+
+# Symlinking src to dest
+import linktastic
+linktastic.symlink(src, dest)
