It's version dependent. It creates shellidlists
Well more on links:
Because cygwin does use windows shortcuts as symbolic links, it will
automaticly dereference windows links. If the link has a unix path in the
description field cygwin will use that (or at least I think it uses it, it
puts it there on its own links). Otherwise it uses the p
