I think you missed the important part of the email. Distilled down,
this is wrong:
$ ln -s /cygdrive/C/Windows foo
$ readlink foo
/mnt/C/Windows
The symlink's value changed to a path that doesn't exist on a typical
install and is now broken. The original /cygdrive/C/Windows path works
fine as long as you have it mounted to ignore case. Perhaps the
rewrite (if it is even required) should change it into
/cygdrive/c/Windows?
