You are right. I am using shortcut.exe tool right now but using some open-source 
JS script would be preferrable.

Yes I would say we can add these scripts to the tools folder. As long as there 
is no standard command-line tool on Windows to handle shortcuts it makes perfect 
sense to include this in our own distribution.

I agree; if you have cleaned up these scripts you can send it to me so I can 
commit it to SVN and include it in next release (WPKG 1.3.1).

Please consider writing some readme with basic usage information as well.
