Hi Robert,

This link is required during build as the headers are supposed to live
in $includedir/adolc/*.h and the source files include <adolc/*.h>

The Makefiles will try to create it if it is not present. Unfortunately
windows does not like symlinks. I have removed the link from the stable
version of ADOL-C some time ago, so that the next zip files for
distribution will not suffer from the problem that you mention below.

For the moment you can try to work with stable/2.1 from svn instead of
trunk. The code is the same. Hopefully $(LN_S) Makefile macro is defined
under cygwin. I am trying to think of a better solution to this problem.
