I can't see anything obviously wrong with mkshortcut. It converts the link name with cygwin_conv_to_win32_path(), adds '.lnk', and prepends the start menu path. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path() is supposed to turn a relative POSIX path such as 'Cygwin/mintty' into a relative Window path. That appears to work fine most of the time, at least I haven't seen this issue in my tests. Can anyone think of a reason why it might turn it into an absolute path such as 'K:\cygwin-2\Cygwin\mintty.lnk' instead? Does it make a difference if you run the script from the root directory of the install (which I think is where setup.exe runs then from) or from a cmd shell?
