1. Could _AS_LN_S_PREPARE be changed to work with or recognize Cygwin and MSYS2?I suppose it could, but what specific change is being proposed? It's not entirely clear from your email.Fair enough. Would it be possible to remove the `ln -s file dir` check?
Why would that be a good idea? We don't want later shell code to execute 'ln -s F D' on systems where this command isn't equivalent to 'ln -s F D/F'.
And would it work for AC_PROG_LN_S to set `as_ln_s="CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict ln -s"`? or export the CYGWIN or MSYS env var in the configure and config.status scripts?
I suppose so, though I'm no Cygwin expert. The former sounds less intrusive.
