When Developer mode is enabled the elevation requirement for symlink
creation is disabled:

https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/12/02/symlinks-windows-10/#DXz6icKZOkEozgYR.97

This was necessary for symlink creation within WSL to work.

I understand that blog so that at the API, with the respective flag set,this would also work without the need to previously set developer mode.

Maybe something that cygwin could use?
