That description is not very clear.  If the symlinks are created during
postinstall, then they should obey the value of CYGWIN environment that
is in effect at that time.  If so, then the behaviour should start
appearing with cygwin-3.1.5, which is the first release that has the
code supporting these (and makes them the default).  I'm not aware that
the behaviour of setup.exe has changed in that respect recently, but I
haven't checked thoroughly.

Achim.
