The rb-site installation script uses Symlinks (with os.symlink call) which
are not supported on Windows.

As a consequence the rb-site script is not working on Windows.
Hacking it (line 245 commented + src/dest printed) shows that it is mainly
used to link install specific /media directories to packaged ones.

Moreoever the WebServer configuration must be modified to correctly Alias
the packaged /media directory.
 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch rb-site on Windows ...

For now, you can use --copy-media. I'll try to get a fix in tomorrow for Windows.
