Clarification:
From the User's Guide:
[Talking about the CYGWIN environment variable]
(no)winsymlinks - if set, Cygwin creates symlinks as Windows shortcuts with
a special header and the R/O attribute set. If not set, Cygwin creates
symlinks as plain files with a magic number, a path and the system attribute
set. Defaults to set.
NB: setup creates the magic-number/system-attribute always. (Except in
postinstall scripts, when the installed ln -s is invoked, which honours the
CYGWIN setting).
Max.
