Tip: making extra Cygwin shortcuts

It wasn't clear to me from reading the man page for mkshortcut that there was a way to create other Cygwin shortcuts alongside the default Start->Program Files->Cygwin ones. So, FYI, when you specify the name with the -n option, you can name `directories' in the normal way. E.g.: mkshort

You need this for linking with third-party dlls that dont have a cygwin version. I was looking through some documentation for the MKS toolkit (it's like a commercial alternative to cygwin) and according to it, a program that uses the MKS c-library can link with dlls that are in turn linked to msvc
