The new mkshortcut appears to ignore the '-w' option, at least in the 
example I tried:

/usr/bin/mkshortcut -D \
     -n emacs \
     -d 'Emacs (X11)' \
     -w /usr/bin \
     -i /usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/emacs.ico \
     -a /usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/emacs.xml \
   /usr/bin/run2.exe

The resulting shortcut had a blank "Start in" box.  In this case I 
shouldn't have needed the -w anyway, since /usr/bin would be the 
default, but the same thing happened when I tried other directories. 
I'm running XP SP3 if that's relevant.
