Good point. I was assuming that if you're reconfiguring drives in
winecfg while other apps are running you'd be aware that may happen but
I suppose we should not assume that.

Yes that'd work as well. I'd rather have a magic winecfg flag than
copy/paste the code as that way we get bugfixes in shell32
automatically. But Alexandre tends to prefer copy/paste over hacking
code around or using static libraries, so I'm not sure which way he'd
prefer here.

That'd work except that GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint is a stub in
Wine. I do not know how hard it'd be to implement. Eric?

Right now, it'd be easiest to add a winecfg mode to SHBrowseForFolder.
But it's Alexandres call.
