 After installing the "setup" package, the shortcut in the Start Menu does
 not work, as it has blank fields in the shortcut properties.

 Looking in /etc/postinstall/setup.bat is not using xxmklink correctly. Re-
 executing the command show the following output:
 {{{
 C:\>xxmklink "%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Setup.lnk" "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\setup.bat
 -R %OSGEO4W_ROOT%" "" "" "Installer" 1 "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\OSGeo4W.ico"

 XXMkLink     ver 1.00    (c)2005 Copyright  Pixelab, Inc.

 The shortut created as follows

 Shortcut path:     C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
 Menu\Programs\OSGeo4W\
 Setup.lnk
 Target object:     C:\OSGeo4W\bin\setup.bat -R C:\OSGeo4W
 Arguments;
 Working Directory:
 Description:       Installer
 Display Mode:      Normal Window (1)
 Icon file:         C:\OSGeo4W\OSGeo4W.ico
 }}}
 The arguments and work directory are not correctly set. Furthermore, the
 -R flag to osgeo4w-setup-work.exe appears to not start it up, so I'm not
 sure what it does. It might need to be left off.

 Here is my suggested fix for /etc/postinstall/setup.bat:
 {{{
 xxmklink "%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Setup.lnk" "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\setup.bat" ""
 "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%" "Installer" 1 "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\OSGeo4W.ico"
 }}}
 with output
 {{{
