Well see the thing is - I DO - cause I do lots of CVS commits from various
drives - M:, P:, z:, etc...
so depending on where I'm working that particular day I copy the
approrpriate .lnk file to tmp.lnk...
however, setup, when I go and check for new things, likes to make a
directory in /cygwin/tmp which makes my link useless...
