desktop.cc: In function 'void start_menu(const string&, const string&, const string&, const string&)':
desktop.cc:110:11: error: 'char* strncat(char*, const char*, size_t)' specified bound 260 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
I think strlcat() was meant here, which MinGW doesn't have. In it's
absence, open-code it's equivalent.
(SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() returns a pathname of length at most MAX_PATH,
and make_link() is limited to accepting a pathname of length MAX_PATH, so we
want to append our folder name, while truncating the result to MAX_PATH.)
