Issue 10 (fixed)
Summary
Symbolic links use Cygwin-specific representation default
Description
The symlink function in Cygwin creates files which are
understood as symbolic links only by Cygwin. Cygwin has some run-time
configuration via the CYGWIN environment variable to
choose a different representation of symlinks. Cygnal should make
a selection here and hard-code it. Using Windows shortcuts probably makes
the most sense; these are the de facto "symbolic links" understood
to the vast majority of Windows users. NTFS symbolic links are poorly
integrated into the Windows user interface; though they are more Unix-like,
they are "exotic" to the Windows user.
Target Release: 2.5.1.99
