Actually 10 votes + 38 comments is more than lack of interest. It's just that
nobody looks at patches in Bugzilla.

Also, some hints from my personal experience of weeks of wrestling
winemenubuilder patches into the tree:

Do not use a shell script. Alexandre was unwilling to commit a patch to
winemenubuilder for .url files, until I sent a patch to delete wineshelllink.
Your patch has no chance if you use a wineshellunlink script.

winemenubuilder has changed since last you looked at it, some of the functions
you used no longer exist.

You should handle .url files as well as .lnk - currently you don't.

Alexandre doesn't like the Find*ChangeNotification*() functions, and says they
aren't available on all systems and should only be used as a hint, you need to
poll for file changes as well.

Comments starting with // aren't allowed, use /*  */.

Anyway, thank you, good luck - and hurry up :-).
