I think it is not allowed.

Does cygwin have a command "link" or maybe "lndir".  Not the normal "ln".
If it is the same as the one on Solaris and HP-UX it can make links to
directories.  However, for consistancy the two links should be in the
same directory.  You could then do a

        link '/c/Documents and Settings' /c/DocsAndSettings

and backup the new name.
