Last year I wrote app (weft) that allows you to double-click a .sh file
in the Windows Explorer to start the script, a bit similar to the chere
package. I basically does the registry settings mentioned above.
Even tried to make it a package, but since nobody was interested in it I
never continued.

If anyone is interested, I have put the archived of 0.4-1 back on-line.
That version works reasonably well with local and mounted drives. It has
problems with UNC paths.
