NTFS links

2004-02-12 Thread Chris Jefferson
Cygwin includes quite a number of  symlinks. I personally have changed a 
number of the cygwin-style symlinks to windows-style ones to fix (as has 
been mentioned recently) the problem that cygwin-style symlinks don't 
work from cmd

Would it be possible to automagically change all the cygwin-style 
symlinks to windows-style ones? is there anything I should watch for if 
I attempted such a thing?

Setup creates the old-style symlinks.  A patch to it that creates
new-style is one way of automagically doing this.  A script could be
concocted too. 'ln -s' creates the new-style by default.
