According to Pedro Izecksohn on 2/7/2008 9:01 PM:
| struct stat member st_mode is wrongly being set by the stat function to
| regular file instead of to symlink.
Huh? stat is SUPPOSED to dereference symlinks. Use lstat if you want
st_mode to report on a symlink, rather than following it. And this is not
cygwin-specific.
