Unless the XEmacs has been built under the Cygwin environment - in
which case cygwin shortcuts are handled by the cygwin dll and look to
XEmacs just like normal Unix symbolic links.

If you're a Cygwin user, you will be much happier running an XEmacs
built for Cygwin, rather than the "native" Win32 version - because of
stuff like your Cygwin mount tables, CR/LF handling,  "/" vs "\",
etc...
