Porting Emacs to Cygwin is no small job.  Meanwhile, many need to use
NTEmacs with Cygwin with as much efficiency as is available.

I see that the Cygwin sources have been changed back to gunzip being a
symlink.

What about a hard link?  It seems to be the best of both worlds.  No
more disk space and no problems with symlnks.  I've tried it and it
works well so far.
