This gets back to what we were discussing before about per-package
Windows shortcuts instead of X-start-menu-icons. The difference here is
that most programs would use run(1), and if I would implement this in a
widespread fashion, it would be through a new API in cygport.
This might be an exception, though, so I'll look into adding this to the
xinit package.

I would just add a space instead of the slash then. Let me work on it.
