Agreed, but I don't know which should be the master :(

Well, actually. Since it's not #defined in port.h, that should mean it's
not being used anyway? Since the symbol in dirmod.c is pgsymlink, which
shouldn't be referenced directly anywhere. If that's so, then changing
dirmod.c to just exclude the whole thing on CYGWIN should fix the issue.

I don't have a way to test it, but perhaps we should just throw it in
and see if eel breaks on the buildfarm? Unless some poor soul actually
has a cygwin dev box to test on?
