OK, here's a better set. It actually sets the right icons and deals
correctly with having symlinked programs without the trailing .exe.

Brian,
That script looks great to me.
I would like some input on a few things before I go ahead with this
(unless no one responds, in which case I will just go ahead):
The list of programs to create icons for is embedded in the script
itself. The script will still work, since I just copy the
Uhm, ignore that last one. I've got another one cooking as soon as I
can figure out a good way to resolve executables.

seem to recall an xterm option that caused it to remain open until

Brian,
Couple of things:
1) It seems that we are going to need to somehow get cygwin1.dll in the
path of the shortcuts. One way to do this would be to set the working
dir for each shortcut to '/bin'. I don't trust 99% of users to
understand how to set a path variable so that it remains set

how we should probably install this script in /usr/X11R6/bin
OK, it took me a little longer to get the script to this point than I
would have liked, BUT I'm pretty happy with the results. Comments are
welcome, flames /dev/null.
