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 2003 Resource Kit Tools.

I checked again that Cygwin recognizes links created by linkd.exe as
symlinks. Sorry for not trying junction.exe before posting.
