If you are using a Cygwin based Apache then it will follow symlinks 
whereas my experience with the Windows based Apache it doesn't.

That message was about Apache 1.3. I'm on Apache 2.2. There is no -F option:
Adefaria-lt:/usr/sbin/httpd2 -F
httpd2: illegal option -- F
Usage: /usr/sbin/httpd2 [-D name] [-d directory] [-f file]
 [-C "directive"] [-c "directive"]
 [-k start|restart|graceful|graceful-stop|stop]
 [-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-L] [-t] [-T] [-S]
Options:
 -D name : define a name for use in <IfDefine name> directives
 -d directory : specify an alternate initial ServerRoot
 -f file : specify an alternate ServerConfigFile
 -C "directive" : process directive before reading config files
 -c "directive" : process directive after reading config files
 -e level : show startup errors of level (see LogLevel)
 -E file : log startup errors to file
 -v : show version number
 -V : show compile settings
 -h : list available command line options (this page)
 -l : list compiled in modules
 -L : list available configuration directives
 -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS : show parsed settings (currently only vhost settings)
 -S : a synonym for -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
 -t -D DUMP_MODULES : show all loaded modules
 -M : a synonym for -t -D DUMP_MODULES
 -t : run syntax check for config files
 -T : start without DocumentRoot(s) check
