I don't get it. We're using .lnk symlinks for quite some time and open works transparently with them.
At any rate, Cygwin *isn't* the Windows API... Why shouldn't Cygwin be allowed to get it right for those API's that ask for POSIX-style permissions?
Cygwin is running in the Windows subsystem, Interix isn't. Cygwin can only use functions in the Win32 API, or in the native NT API as far as the call is allowed from user space.
