 I know =P

 But I'd really like to be able to just type "qgis" like all the other
 applications can be launched using their shortnames.

 If I type qgis.bat and let that run qgis the first time, and keep the
 terminal open, the env vars are set fine and I can then successfully
 launch qgis again using just qgis without the .bat extension.

 I have to re-load the vars from qgis.bat by running qgis.bat when ever the
 terminal is closed then opened again.
