Dear cygwiners,
In documentation on environment variables there is a reference only for 
2 choices.
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html
None of which is given native NFS symlink option: windows shortcut(LNK 
file) or "plain files with a magic number, a path and the system 
attribute set" .

 From Corinna Vinschen post 
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2012-04/msg00564.html
"Cygwin understands NFS symlinks just fine, and when it creates symlinks 
on NFS, these are *real* symlinks, not Cygwin-type fake symlinks. "

How to make it working? Default behavior is to use "plain file" as 
defined in environment document :(

Thanks,
Sasha
