Hi,

I'm a beginner using dar and was just testing and playing with dar. One
thing came up that I was not expecting, restoring a symlink doesn't seem to
be getting it's original mtime. Please see below and let me know if I'm
doing something wrong or if there is any further information I can provide.
Note that in my test below, I am restoring to an empty directory and also
note that I have built and am running dar under Cygwin.
