proof of concept patch

This is a rough attempt using the TryExec approach. Some issues:
* We have to chmod +x the .lnk file, which is sort of hacky.
* GNOME apparently expects the TryExec field to be strictly escaped (spaces
replaced with \s and all).
* GNOME does not notice immediately when .lnk files are removed. I had to
restart gnome-panel before it would see the changes.

I've not tested with any other desktop environments.

The advantage over some monitoring and/or syncing approach is that this is much
simpler to implement and will hide the links if ~/.wine is removed.
