Creating a symlink to current directory does not display with ls as expected

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have a question
about how ls on cygwin displays a symlink pointing to the current
directory.
When I do the following:
# cd ~
# ln -s here .
# ls -l here
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gene.sally mkgroup 1 Jun 21 16:51 here ->
I'm expecting the dereference to the symlink to display here -> . as
this is the behavior on Linux.
On cygwin, it appears that the "." does not display in the directory
listing; however, the symlink works as expected, so this appears to me a
cosmetic error.
Is this the expected behavior for ls in cygwin for this type of symlink?
Thanks,
gene
