When I get the time, I'll play with it in coreutils.  I think this new
behavior of realpath() may make my cygwin-specific patches for .exe magic
within cp, mv, ln, etc. easier to maintain.  No promises of testing it any
time soon (I still have a bash release to put together), but I will get to
testing the change out before cygwin 1.5.20 :)
