Hi,

Just few remarks about your patch :
- why you didn't use CoreFoundation API (plain C and already used in  
Wine) insteed of fprintf to generate Info.plist ?
- you don't really need a Carbon launcher. Just a plain shell script  
in MacOS for executable et voila ...
(sample joined, just edit MacOS/Notepad to set correct path)

IMHO In a more general way, it's not a good thing to touch user  
directory without letting him decide.
For application generated file you should used ~/Library/Application  
Support/Wine
(see : http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/Articles/LibraryDirectory.html#/ 
/apple_ref/doc/uid/20002282-BAJHCHJI)

And at last, an NSStatusItem seem's a better choice to me for a wine  
application starter, instead of fake app bundles.
Just generated description plist (dictionnary with app name, full  
path, arguments, and icon path ... and what ever you want) in ~/ 
Library/Application Support/Wine/WineMenuBuilder
and lets Helper application (your Bordeau's helper, WineHelper, or  
Mike Kronenberg one's) deal with theese files as they want.
