Thank you.

I am not aware of any arguments passed to postinstall scripts, so a
/etc/postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh would have to check for the folders
"$(cygpath -APU)"/Cygwin or "$(cygpath -PU)"/Cygwin, cd there,
mkshortcut(s), then cd back, as mkshortcut does not support folders,
as far as I can tell.
The postinstall script would also have to run elevated as admin to
make shortcuts in AllUsers/ProgramData, from what I have found.
An /etc/preremove/cygwin-doc.sh script would also have to be
provided to remove those shortcuts.
Any problems with that approach or improvements you could suggest?
If I was doing that, I would probably also like to add URL
shortcuts to the Cygwin page and FAQ. Would that be best done
by adding .URLs to /usr/share/doc/cygwin-???/ and postinstall
them in the Start Menu or postinstall mkshortcut(s) to the URLs?
