It looks like you made ~/.xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus a symlink
rather than making ~/.xemacs/site-packages a symlink and expecting
XEmacs to find stuff beneath (say, lisp/gnus). In any case, I tried
your symlink approach. Just to make sure we're talking about the same
thing, I have:
~/.xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus
symlinked to
~/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus
The latter contains a working Gnus installation built from a recent
CVS snapshot. auto-autoloads.el(c) is there.
When I start up XEmacs as xemacs -q, I get
(locate-library "gnus")
=> nil
(featurep 'gnus-autoloads)
=> nil
$ file /home/seh/.xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus
=> bash: file: command not found
Well, anyway, per above,
=> /home/seh/.xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus: symbolic link to
/home/seh/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus
(member "/home/seh/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus" load-path)
=> nil
(member "/home/seh/.xemacs/site-packages/lisp/gnus/" load-path)
=> nil

Could this be a Cygwin problem? I've tried it on XEmacs 21.4.13 on
up-to-date Cygwin atop both Windows 2000 and Windows XP, with the same
results in both cases.
Is there a variable (besides the obvious load-path) that I can inspect
to see if XEmacs includes ~/.xemacs/site-packages as part of its
initial path to find these autoload files? When I start with xemacs
-q, the default load-path is (gulp):
