Okay, time for me to eat crow.

The cause of the crashes was that I was in my cmake directory while trying
to test "csi -R srfi-1", *not* because the symbolic links don't work.
They do work.

But if you are in the build directory, you get into trouble because
Windows gets confused and installs DLLs from the current directory first,
even though the current directory is not on the path.

Doing "csi -R srfi" from any other directory is not a problem.  So after
I changed to my home directory or to /usr/local/lib to make the changes,
everything was fine, though not because of those changes, simply because
I was no longer in the build directory.  Sorry about all that.

CMake on Cygwin works!
