Actually it is supported back to at least Win98 in shdocw and most
probably even Win95 since that did support the progman interface too.

If you want Wine explorer to potentially run on Windows systems too
you would probably call the export in shdocw instead which dynamically
forwards to shell32 in Wine.

Once the shell32 DDE server does actually something useful I think
it would be a good idea to initialize it in the first explorer process
that gets started.

Maybe ShellDDEInit even should protect itself from being called multiple
times to start up the server.
