I'm generating a snapshot now which fixes this problem, which can be
summarized as "A .lnk extension shows up in some cases for symbolic
links in directory listings if the filename contains characters which
cygwin considers to be 'special', like upper case characters, colons, etc."
Check the cygwin.com web page and click on the "Snapshots" link on the
left sidebar to find out about snapshots. Don't bother downloading a
snapshot unless it displays today's date or newer.
