[PATCH]setup.exe mklink2.cc some function arguments need to be pointers

I couldn't get mklink2.cc to compile until I made the attached changes.

It appears that CoCreateInstance() and sl->lpVtbl->QueryInterface() are
looking for pointers to values in certain arguments instead of the values.
Almost the exact same code is used in src/winsup/cygwin/shortcut.c except
for the '&'s and it compiles cleanly.  Both functions defined in mklink2.cc
are declared extern "C" so the function calls should work the same.

Here are the relevant pieces of code.

src/winsup/cinstall/mklink2.cc (make_link_2):
23:   CoCreateInstance (CLSID_ShellLink, NULL,
24:             CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IShellLink, (LPVOID *) & sl);
25:   sl->lpVtbl->QueryInterface (sl, IID_IPersistFile, (void **) &pf);

src/winsup/cygwin/shortcut.c (check_shortcut):
85:   hres = CoCreateInstance (&CLSID_ShellLink, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
86:                &IID_IShellLink, (void **)&psl);
87:   if (FAILED (hres))
88:     goto close_it;
89:   /* Get a pointer to the IPersistFile interface. */
90:   hres = psl->lpVtbl->QueryInterface (psl, &IID_IPersistFile, (void
**)&ppf);

src/winsup/w32api/include/objidl.h:
640: EXTERN_C const IID IID_IPersistFile;

src/winsup/w32api/include/olectlid.h:
76: extern const GUID IID_IPersistFile;

src/winsup/w32api/include/shlguid.h:
13: extern const GUID CLSID_ShellLink;
28: extern const GUID IID_IShellLinkA;
68: #define IID_IShellLink  IID_IShellLinkA

src/winsup/w32api/lib/shell32.c:
 6: DEFINE_SHLGUID(CLSID_ShellLink,0x00021401L,0,0);
21: DEFINE_SHLGUID(IID_IShellLinkA,0x000214EEL,0,0);

src/winsup/w32api/lib/uuid.c:
226: DEFINE_GUID(IID_IPersistFile,0x10b,0,0,0xc0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0x46);
