Inspired by reading this in the newsgroup, I've thrown together a KDE 
plugin to do .lnk thumbnailing.

I don't suppose the code belongs in the wine project (for a number of 
reasons, not least of which it's C++). If anyone's interested, though, 
it's available at

http://code.google.com/p/kdewinelnkthumbnailer/

It'd be great if there was a cross-desktop way to do all of this...

(It's been a while since I've done any coding work, so it's probably not 
the most beautiful code! But it works!)
