Well, that's a reasonable recommendation but, as it turns out,
it won't work unless the VIM package is installed and if VIM 
is installed, it's not necessary to do this manually, since 
the link is created as part of the installation of this package.

Here's the FAQ entry that should prove useful when trying to figure 
out what Cygwin package a particular utility is in.

What packages should I download?

Ah the FAQ.  It's a wonderfull concept! ;-)
