The next major release of cygwin, version 1.7, is expected to be
released next spring and is available for testing now. For reasons
explained in [1], st_nlink will no longer behave the way it does in
unix. The attached patch is needed to make kpathsea work right under
cygwin 1.7. I think it's probably harmless for cygwin 1.5 also, but I
haven't tested it.
By the way, I think the kpathsea documentation needs to be updated: It
refers to UNIX_ST_LINK instead of ST_NLINK_TRICK.
