Brian,

Please check that this patch works properly when
CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict

I have encountered problems when running cygport with this setting due to
the different behavior of unix symlinks and windows symlinks vis-a-vis
attempting to create a symlink that points to a non-existent location. [

My simplistic solution was to force CYGWIN=winsymlinks.native in the
.cygport file.

Thanks,
Doug
