Internally though, the SHBrowseForFolder dialog 
(dlls/shell32/brsfolder.c) uses pidls, which, as far as I know, are a 
specific win32 thing for identifying paths uniqually.

Thus, if I'd make an extra flag in the dialog, I would have to extent 
pidls to, so that they can hold unix paths. Is that a wise thing to do? 
Or should I take another approach?
