Description

If I try to run the cqlshlib tests on Windows, I got the following error:

======================================================================
ERROR: Failure: AttributeError ('module' object has no attribute 'symlink')

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'symlink'

Ran 1 test in 0.002s

FAILED (errors=1)

The problem comes from the fact tha Windows has no support for symlinks.
