[e-lang] Problems building E 0.8.35f

That patch did successfully build an e.jar for me (thanks!) but the
installer fails with the following error:

# problem: c:/Documents and Settings/Steve
Jenson/Desktop/e/export/dist/bin/win32/x86/make_shortcut.exe failed
with(255, Error - Windows: The system cannot find the path specified.
Saving shortcut to ~/Desktop/e/export/dist/bin/shortcuts/eBrowser.lnk)

but there is no shortcut in that directory.
