No, its job is to run an entry point from a DLL.
E.g.
rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection 
C:\\WINDOWS\\inf\\mplayer2.inf,PerUserStub.NT

is supposed to load advpack.dll, locate the LaunchINFSection entry point 
and invoke it with the "C:\\WINDOWS\\inf\\mplayer2.inf,PerUserStub.NT" 
argument.

It's syntax is documented in the Knowledge Base article Q164787 (or at 
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/system/rundll32.htm)

It turned out to be pretty easy to implement: I already have a working 
version :-)
