`ls-lisp-emulation' should have `MS-Windows' as the default
value on MS Windows.

This variable also affects other settings such as `ls-lisp-ignore-case',
`ls-lisp-dirs-first', and `ls-lisp-verbosity'.  If the default value is
`MS-Windows' then it sets those variables correctly, as follows:

`ls-lisp-ignore-case' should be t
`ls-lisp-dirs-first'  should be t
`ls-lisp-verbosity'   should be (links)

It isn't, for the reasons that were discussed long ago and at length.
One such discussion is here:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-07/msg00523.html

This is the intended behavior.  You can customize it if you don't like
the default.
