cygutils - mkshortcut - Patch for --desc option for description/tooltip text - Needed for new Cygwin/X package

Attached is a patch to mkshortcut to allow it to take a [-d|--desc] DESC 
option that specifies the text of the description (tooltip text) for the 
shortcut.  If -d|--desc is not specified, then the previous behavior of 
setting the description to the POSIX path to the application is used.

I have build tested and run tested the attached patch.

I need this patch for a replacement for the XFree86-bin-icons package. 
I already have the new package in hand, but I need this new 
functionality in order for the shortcuts to have meaningful names and 
descriptions.
