No, we still have to adapt the Makefile(s) to Cygin/Windows.

Did it also work with "html/LL/images" being a link 
to "../../xml/LL/images", or only when you linked/copied the files 
directly to the html directory?
(I can add a simple test for Cygwin using an autoconf macro and then 
modify the relevant Makefile commands accordingly, but I have to know 
which parts of the Makefile to change.)

Using hardlinks seems to be better, since this way we won't create new 
files and copy several MByes of data, instead just directory entries 
are added or updated (at least, under Linux).
Don't know if hardlinks are portable, though (but it looks like 
hardlinks are even more portable than symlinks),

Bye,
