What was the plan for .lnk files anyway?  Last I heard we were
discussing ways to hide them from the interface entirely, so giving them
an icon wouldn't really matter.

Shouldn't that icon just be the normal new straight-up wineglass icon
that we use elsewhere? ie:

see the version information other than by squinting at the icon itself
-- right click->properties would be a good place for that, but that's
another task.
