Yes, I have put a "Makefile.Wine" into CVS for compiling as Winelib application. Just put the explorer source into the directory "wine/programs/explorer" and use "make -f Makefile.Wine" zu build it. If it complains about a too old Makefile, issue an "touch Makefile".

The ANSI version "explorer-ansi.exe" doesn't use Unicode strings. You can use it instead of "explorer.exe" on older systems such as Win 98. To compile the Unicode version add "UNICODE=1" to the make command line.
