The MS-Windows port does not use Makefile.in, I am surprised you got it 
working this far.

That is correct for Cygwin I think. Does renaming the file actually 
work? Because Windows shortcuts (the equivalent of symbolic links) use 
the file extension to identify themselves, I think renaming it would 
prevent the shortcut from being recognised as such.

It would be better to write a Makefile-w32.in that takes care of the 
vast differences between Windows and Unix. Someone is already doing that 
for emacs/man, so that could be used as a template once it is ready.
