Add ability to setup symlinks

This was a sketch of how it might look in groovy I did years back:
def sprDocs = [ '1.0.0.M1', '1.0.0', '1.0.1', '1.0.2', '1.1.0', '1.1.1', '1.1.2', '1.1.3', '1.1.4', '1.1.5', '1.1.x', '1.2.0', '1.2.1', '1.2.2', '1.2.3', '1.2.4', '1.2.5', '1.2.6', '1.2.7', '1.2.8', '1.2.9', '1.2.x',

    for(int i=0;i<aParts.length;i++) {
        if(i > bParts.length-1) {

        }
        def match = aParts[i].compareTo(bParts[i])
        if(match != 0) {
           return match > 0
        }
    }
    bParts.length < aParts.length
}

def createLinks = { dirs ->
    def linkToPath = [:]

    dirs.each { dir ->
