Yeah, using batch files would technically work, but I don't think that's a good solution for several reasons.
Firstly, depending on relative paths means that they would break if moved, and also if any of the folders were moved or renamed. (The latter can happen with the normal shortcuts as well, but I'd expect most people to take such actions before running thcrap_configure, not after.)
Secondly, I'm not convinced that this even solves the problem it sets out to. For those who don't have the technical competence to run thcrap_configure, is saying "just run this homebrew batch file bro, trust me" going to be any more appealing?
Thirdly, it would be forcing the lang_en patch on such people instead of giving them a choice of patches, which is one of the big advantages of thchrap. (Although, if they can't set it up themselves, maybe they deserve it?)
Lastly, I actually think it would be ultimately harmful for such people. If I included this weird cobbled-together half-measure, sure it might make their first time playing the games easier, but then it would remove any incentive for them to actually learn how to use thcrap and create a setup that might work better for them. You know, "there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution".
