Well, subversion can handle the symlinks, though I'm not sure what it
does with them in windows filesystems.

As to whether those are the right ones to have, I don't really know
either way.

The website came to us in two pieces: a tarball of the CVS repository
and a tarball of the live site that David Hampton made.  The images and
news were not in the CVS repository ... as well as some large static
pieces of the site, like the historical gnucash-devel archives and
versions of the tutorial and concepts guide, which probably shouldn't be
in the VC system...

In any case, looking at the tarball, yes, there is a top-level
index.phtml -> en/index.phtml symlinks.  As well, there are the
following in the live-site tarball:
