symlink == symbolic link

The program to install links normally is called "ln", installing
symbolic links normally is performed by "ln -s".

I am not sure if Cygwin has it but, I have been told cygwin so.

ln -s <path-to-gcc>/gcc.exe <somepath-in-$PATH>/cc.exe

e.g.

ln -s /bin/gcc.exe /bin/cc.exe

[I don't know whether the .exe suffix is necessary under Cygwin.]
