As you are removing (ancient) Cygwin specific code that did not work
with modern Cygwin at all in step [2/4], it is not so unexpected
that some stuff does still not work after that step.  I am not sure
what your reservation exactly is, but if you are wondering if code
to disable browsing and shortcut creation on Cygwin temporarily
needs to be there in the same step (instead of crashing or not
working), it may make sense if and only if it is done with minimal
changes.

Thanks.
