the unowinreg.dll must not be a symlink since the installer now checks
for filelists if the listed file is a symlink and in that case assumes
that a symlink needs to be created in the installation that points to
the same target, which avoids having to maintain special entries for
symlinks in scp2; no file is actually copied in that case.

if anybody symlinks random files and expects the installer to convert
them to real files like it did in previous versions they may be
disappointed :)
