I've looked in to this a bit and been wanting to implement it for
ReactOS. We need to implement some of the SHQuery* functions in shell32.
I have a bunch of command apps that use these shell32 apis to talk to
the Recycle bin.

The problem is the FreeDesktop.org Trashcan spec is just a draft and I
don't know how properly the major desktops follow it...if at all at this
point.
