Looks like a discussion for cygwin-apps. The only thing I would be worried 
about is if cygutils is NOT installed but some packages use mkshortcut as 
part of their post-install script. Wasn't there some discussion of merging
cygutils into the winsup CVS, or did I not catch that right? 

Chuck, do you want to grab the file from cygwin-patches and put it in cygutils?

I'll need to write different documentation than utils.sgml also.
Thanks.
