One final observation; you can always use NTFS 5.0 junctions (in XP)
[which ARE real symlinks] or NTFS hard links in place of cygwin's
inventive but back-asswards faux symlinks.

Jerry, I believe you know how to author a patch ... feel free to offer
up a patch to win_compiling.html, and submit it to docs@httpd.apache.org
... but it is good to have the citation in the bug database :-)
