Some of the .dir-locals.el files in the distribution are
symbolic links to another.
On cygwin they come out as LNK files.
Emacs tries to load such LNK file and fails.
I had to remove these files to be able to edit orgmode elisp files.
Perhaps there is a way to make emacs on cygwin interpret LNK as links,
then it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
Otherwise (and I think better), the build process could copy .dir-locals.el
from the master dir to the slave dirs

The error I get is
Directory-local variables error: (wrong-type-argument listp !<symlink> \.)

I find the symlink very problematic. I normally copy the contents of
.dir-settings.el' to .dir-locals.el.

.dir-locals.el is now a copy of .dir-settings.el, which should prevent
this problem.
Thanks,
