Hey, if it's your itch, feel free to scratch it.  I actually would
like to see a better explorer in Wine, if nothing else to have a more
intuitive way to play around with the shell namespace than opening a
file/save dialog.  I haven't had time to work on it myself.

Regarding sharing code:  last I heard, the official attitude is "it's
complicated."  C++ code isn't acceptable in the Wine tree at all, of
course, so that ruled out ReactOS's explorer long ago.  New
submissions that are aimed at their tree as well as ours would
probably be acceptable.
