On 2nd thought, I've been reading up on symlinks vs. shortcuts and
they aren't exactly comparable. MSYS has "ln -s" available but all
it does is a straight copy, not a symlink or a shortcut. Meanwhile,
plain MinGW wouldn't be expected to have "ln" available, that's an
MSYS thing. So in sum, I'm thinking it would be useful to have a
create_shortcut ability for Windows native CMake. Does that
capability exist in some other form already? If not, I'll make a
feature request.

Windows does not have symlinks at all.
That's not actually true. But its symlinks are poorly documented and
supported, as this article illuminates, which is why I shifted focus to
shortcuts. http://shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=284
