(specifically, supporting symlink(), S_ISLNK support in stat, > etc.) coreutils will do nothing special. Either cygwin1.dll will add support for them, or it won't, and coreutils will just follow along for the ride. After all, you don't want some, but not all, of your binaries to understand these new links via special casing, so the best place to fix it is in cygwin1.dll. Oh, and the usual disclaimer about PTC and SHTDI. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
