I am confused. CVS has in port.h:
#if defined(WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__)
/*
* Win32 doesn't have reliable rename/unlink during concurrent access,
* and we need special code to do symlinks.
*/
extern int pgrename(const char *from, const char *to);
extern int pgunlink(const char *path);
extern int pgsymlink(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath);
...
#define rename(from, to) pgrename(from, to)
#define unlink(path) pgunlink(path)
#define symlink(oldpath, newpath) pgsymlink(oldpath, newpath)
so you should already be calling the junction code on Cygwin.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
