If a POSIX path supplied to cygwin_conv_path ends in a symbolic link, the returned path refers to the target of that link. Normally, that's a good thing because native programs can't understand Cygwin links. But this behavior is unwanted when we're looking at a *native* symbolic link that all programs can understand. It's needlessly specific and rather surprising, and is causing trouble with a program I'm writing that manipulates native symbolic links.
