Yup. If your looking for a file or program, the best place to check first is
<http://cygwin.com/packages/>. A search for 'ln.exe' will reveal the fileutils
package, and `cygcheck -c fileutils' will reveal whether or not the package is
installed. Either way, installed or not, you may need to re-run your postinstall
scripts in /etc/postinstall

  $ for i in /etc/postinstall/*.sh.done; do $i; done

to create an required symbolic links etc.
