Indeed, this is the best bet, actually even much better than embedding
non-Wine file browser dialogs. Just make a nice custom dialog which displays
directory structures read via direct Unix calls, that should be the way to go.
(perhaps starting with the home directory of the user here is better,
but more likely it's not).
