Maybe you already know, but it took me a while to realize, so I'll mention it
here: `ln -s target ../link` executed in directory /foo/bar will create
/foo/link targeting "target", i.e. /foo/target (and not /foo/bar/target as I
thought).
Cygwin refuses to create NTFS symlinks to non-existing targets. This is due to
a mismatch between NTFS and POSIX symlink semantics.
Given this information, the error you're seeing should now be obvious to you.
