That's not a great habit to get into.  It will only work if the program
uses Cygwin methods (e.g. dlopen()) to dynamically load the dll at
runtime.  It will absolutely not work for a .exe that was linked to a
.dll in the normal way, or for a program that uses LoadLibrary() at
runtime, because the windows dynamic loader has no idea what a symlink
is and you will get the "Can't locate DLL" popup.
