How to make Cygwin use native symlinks

I stumbled upon this cool Cygwin option that allows you to use native Windows (NTFS) symlinks (like CreateSymbolicLinkW in the Win32 API, or mklink via cmd shell). Apparently there's a CYGWIN environment variable that "is used to configure many global settings for the Cygwin runtime system".

One of those options is winsymlinks:{lnk,native,nativestrict}.

if set to just winsymlinks or winsymlinks:lnk, Cygwin creates symlinks as Windows shortcuts with a special header and the R/O
