This release is taken from the cygwin-1.7-specific development branch (cygutils-1.4.1 will no longer compile
on legacy versions of cygwin; it requires functions noly
added in the newer cygwin kernels).

The new mkshortcut appears to ignore the '-w' option, at least in the example I tried:


/usr/bin/mkshortcut -D \
    -n emacs \
    -d 'Emacs (X11)' \
    -w /usr/bin \
    -i /usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/emacs.ico \
    -a /usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/emacs.xml \
  /usr/bin/run2.exe

The resulting shortcut had a blank "Start in" box. In this case I shouldn't have needed the -w anyway, since /usr/bin would be the default, but the same thing happened when I tried other directories. I'm running XP SP3 if that's relevant.
