If you are referring to junctions, they are most certainly not the same thing as symlinks, for a number of reasons: they only work with directories; the target can only be an absolute path; they can't cross partitions. There is some new symlink support in vista, but obviously that's not useful to most people at this point. > It seems to me that it should be possible to make > Cygwin read the Rock Ridge data from the CD, which should be > accessible by reading the CD in raw mode.

Yes, I think "probably won't happen" is putting that mildly.
