title: changing mingw' startup directory or creating mingw symlinks
body: <p>What's the easiest way to set mingw's console startup directory? I only use mingw for compiling. but due to the lack of editors or even symlinks I am confused how to tell mingw console to come up in a different directory rather than regular home dir.</p>
  <p>It would also be helpful if someone knows how to place &quot;real&quot; symlinks to ntfs drives like cygwin can do. mingw copies the content and that is useless when working on a subversion dir.</p>
  <p>I am a lazy guy, and i find it painful to do the cd /c/Documents/USER/.../Project all the time :&gt;</p>
