Yeah, I'm sure he is, but it looks from the regression results like it
doesn't quite work on Cygwin. Is that fixable? If so, we'd have a
choice of whether to rely on junctions or on Cygwin's own emulation of
symlinks. I'd be inclined to think the former is a better idea, if only
because it'd give you some chance of migrating a data directory between
Cygwin and native ports.
