Sorry.  I really should have checked what was setup.exe was doing.

I think we should just drop the 1.1 and make it "Cygwin Bash Shell".

As far as the FAQ is concerned, I just made a shortcut to the cygwin

Dunno if that helps or not.  I've never used the interface in
setup.c for creating shortcuts.
