How can I automatically convert all symlinks on my Cygwin filesystem from
the "!<symlink>" format to windows shortcuts? Samba doesn't seem to
maintain the correct permissions for the Cygwin DLL to detect the
"!<symlink>" files as symlinks, so they are treated as regular files
(hence the errors with gcc, etc. I was seeing). Thanks Chris and others
for pointing me in the right direction to diagnose this. I now need a way
of converting all those symlink files to windows shortcuts so I can use
Cygwin at college.
Chris
