Yes, and there already is SymlinkFeature to skip some tests on win32.

But this patch is not about symlinks on win32. It's about symlinks on
Cygwin, and Cygwin's python and therefore Cygwin's native bzr version
are support symlinks. This patch is all about bad interaction between
Cygwin's symlinks and native Windows applications.
