Well, not having version information in hhctrl.ocx breaks other applications
(see the thread on the WinZip 10 installer which triggered me to send that
 patch).

The native version of hhctrl.ocx has version information, and so should
Wine's. It could very well be that this breaks more apps than it fixes,
but sometimes that's the price you have to pay for making progress.

Let's hope that this change itches some capable developer enough to do 
some serious scratching... ;-)
