Patch attached. Please check my changes to the commentary preceding
symlink_info::check to make sure I got it right.
I've written the patch against the master branch, but I think it should be
applied to cygwin-3_3-branch also.

Subject: [PATCH] Cygwin: fix return value of symlink_info::check
Currently it is possible for symlink_info::check to return -1 in case
we're searching for foo and find foo.lnk that is not a shortcut. This
contradicts the new meaning attached to a negative return value in
commit 19d59ce75d. Fix this by setting "res" to 0 at the beginning of
the main loop and not seting it to -1 later.
Also fix the commentary preceding the function definition to reflect
the current behavior.
