Not if readshortcut/mkshortcut are available. ;-)

Three small comments on the patch:
+/* Hippo URL */
+#define HIPPO_URL "http://dessent.net/tmp/cyghippo.jpg";
The .jpg file won't have the animation -- I'd make that a .gif, and
hope that either Brian completes the graphic endeavour, or, in case
someone else does, Brian will post the result on his web site. However,
as a temp measure this would do, and you could always release a new
cygstart if an animated GIF is announced.
+ { "hippo", '\0', POPT_ARG_NONE, NULL, 'i', \
^^^
Why '-i'? Wouldn't '-H' (big-h) be more appropriate?
+ "Show the Cygwin Hippo!", NULL},
Shouldn't this be "Show me the Hippo!"? :-)
