Hello,
 I had reported a problem with addpm.exe on W2K. I am building CVS HEAD
 using MinGW-GCC and MSVC6 and face the same problem of addpm.exe getting
 stuck duing "nmake (gmake) install".
I found that it is getting stuck in DdeConnect(). I am not aware of DDE
mechanism but feel we should have a time out. Since "addpm.exe" is trivia
and does not affect the working of GNU Emacs, the install should progress
even if "addpm.exe" fails.

 Also, I noticed "gmake info" failes on MinGW-GCC on W2K. The problem is
 with backslash ("\") in makefile.w32-in at target "info:". Changing it
 to forward slashes "/", fixes this problem.

with best regards,
dhruva

I decided to fix this by creating the Shortcuts using the Shell API 
where possible, only falling back on the deprecated DDE ProgMan 
interface when that fails (which should only happen on copies of Windows 
95 and NT 4.0 that have not been updated since 1996).
