I actually use autoconf from cygwin. I tried with the autoconf of MSYS, 
but the version does
not seem to high enough (it weird as the MSYS package says it's 2.59, 
but 'autoconf --version'
says it's 2.56). Anyway, when running the configure script in the MSYS 
shell, LN_S is set
to "ln -s". But it looks like this is equivalent to copy. So this part 
of the patch does not seem to
be necessary.
