If so, would you accept hacks to sh-utils and bash to make tests of the form "test -d symlinked-directory" work properly? These things really need to work for the sake of existing autoconf'ed software. - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
