OK - now I am truly tearing out my hair as 'subst' makes #11.
I'm thinking a table with the following columns would be very helpful:
A. Name of command

mklink /d creates a symlink with a directory DOS attribute, it does
not delete the symlink.

I have been googling on junction.exe and mklink.
Since they both create reparse points, in what way are the reparse points
different to the extent that cygwin recognizes those from mklink but not
those form junction.exe.
The nice thing though about junction.exe is that it uses the *nix like '-d'

Was mklink introduced with Vista? It's not present on XP. The
alternative there is linkd.exe, available as part of the freely
downloadable Windows Server 20

Uh, I see. Don't use the junction tool, use cmd's mklink instead.

Actually the behavior is even stranger... renaming and then deleting
junctions creates spurious directories.
