Look for *.tmpl files in the installation.   Those are templates for the files
without the tmpl extension.  That is done by the files in etc/postinstall using
textreplace.   The batch files in postinstall also create the shortcuts.  After
being run they are renamed to .bat.done.

So you're deployment script could rename the local copy of the .bat.done back,
set OSGEO4W_ROOT (OSGeo4W directory with backslashes), OSGEO4W_ROOT_MSYS
(OSGeo4W in msys notation with forward slashes), OSGEO4W_STARTMENU (name of the
start menu group), OSGEO4W_MENU_LINKS (1 if you want shortcuts in the menu)
and/or OSGEO4W_DESKTOP_LINKS if you want links on the desktop) and rerun them.

That should give you pretty much the same as you would have gotten from a fresh
install.

Another approach might be to have the osgeo4w share mapped to a fixed drive
letter everywhere.
