Re: mintty start menu icon

It would be nice if the mintty package could honor the unchecking of "Add
icon to Start Menu"

Yes, that would be nice, but unfortunately setup.exe's design doesn't allow for this. The start menu icon is created by the mintty postinstall script, which is run before the user even gets to the "Add icon to Start Menu" option. Same issue for other packages that create start menu entries.

Would it be reasonable to move that dialog (sans the "Finished" wording, of course) earlier in the process -- and then export the value of those checkboxes via env vars like your other patch?
