CVS at the moment is the same as the setup.exe on sources.

The shortcuts are supposed to end up (1) on the desktop, and (2) in
your start menu.  You're the second person to see this behavior -
could you email me the output of "cygcheck -r -s -v" ?  Also, if you
could debug it, the relevent functions are start_menu() and
desktop_icon() in src/winsup/cinstall/desktop.cc.
