Hence the suggestion of using the features provided by the
alternatives package. Am I correct in assuming this works even for
dynamically loaded dlls?
No. It works for .so's on Linux, because the Linux loader understands
symlinks. Cygwin piggybacks on the Window Runtime Loader, which does
NOT understand symlinks (nor shortcuts!). Because alternatives relies
entirely on symlinks, it doesn't work for DLLs on windows.
