Ok, good.

Yeah, the root problem is that Window does not support the exotic 
concept of relative paths in shortcuts. Instead it appears to stack a 
bunch of hacks on shortcuts to make sure they will work even after 
moving them - if all goes well. To make matters as complicated as 
possible, these hacks differ between different versions of Windows 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortcut_(computing)#Microsoft_Windows).

I'm not sure. The problem _may_ have been that I had failed to update 
the shortcut after updating rkward.exe. An updated bundle will be 
available for download in an hour or so (slooow connection). I _hope_ 
that will fix both problems.
