Subject: mintty functionality


I am attempting to create a desktop icon for cygwin based applicatin.

I am using 
  mkshortcut  and  mintty  with the program to be invoked's name as am argument to mintty.

The problem I'm encountering is that the applicatin that mintty is to run requires 
/usr/lib/lapack   which is not in PATH when invoked from the desktop.  I know I can do the windows thing to set a full microsoft windows PATH, but would prefer to keep it in the shortcut or in a mintty configuration file. 

In essence I want to apprend to the PATH environment variable the needed library path.
Can this be done a.) with makshortcut or b.) with mintty.  I couldn't find any reference in h ow to in the documentation.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards
