Gods, I'm so stupid sometimes.  I read my own mail and promptly when and
fixed it.

Okay, I now have the App Paths registry key "zsh.exe" pointing to a
zsh-start.lnk, where the shortcut adds the -l needed, so that I have a
fully-working Cygwin zsh by doing Win-R + "zsh".

Something has to go wrong soon, because this OS install is almost
becoming tolerable and every time I think that, I become frustrated at
something new and the hates builds to an even higher level than ever
before.
