Since this function is specified in its entirety in documentation
(rather than just in code), as above and in other places listed below,
would a patch be accepted for Cygwin?

[PATCH] fix unlink for Cygwin 1.5.25-15 -- unintended data loss with symbolic file links

Please consider the patch below for inclusion in the Cygwin 1.5 branch which
corrects the deletion of symbolic link file types (Vista file reparse
points).

The problem is that CreateFile will open the target and not the link.  See
the MSDN page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365682(VS.85).aspx#CreateFile for
a more detailed description of Vista's symbolic link handling.

Thanks, 
  Jason

	* syscalls.cc: Fix 'unlink' so that it will delete the symbolic link

Sorry but we're not anticipating any new releases of Cygwin 1.5.x.

Okay, I thought I'd submit the trivial patch just in case someone else runs
into the problem.  The bug has very interesting side effects if someone does
a "rm -rf" of a directory which may contain such symbolic links.  Luckily I
had a backup.  I look forward to the 1.7 release!

OK to apply, to match newlib and in preparation for POSIX 200x?
