Consider it reported :-O.  'cygcheck -p mkshortcut' shows mkshortcut is part of 
the cygutils package.  I'm the maintainer.  You aren't using zsh as your shell, 
are you?  I ask because zsh apparently has its own mkshortcut.  Let me 
experiment a little bit and try to reproduce your first issue.

Your second issue is something totally separate and I can't help with it.
