[PATCH] start - add /D option to allow invoking the RunFile dialog

[Steven Edwards]

Hi,
I tried to find a way to extend RunDll32 to allow invoking the needed
shell32 function via ordinal (not supported on windows) but the
problem is that there is no way to build the structure that is needed
and pass that proper arguments to the function from the command line.
The only other clean alternative I could come up with was the
following, given the command line for start.exe already has an
extension, I don't think there should be a problem adding another one.
Either way we have to add unsupported or extended functionality and
this is the cleanest most simple route. This will allow Wine packagers
to create a Wine desktop entry like we have in Bordeaux so users can
get the Run Dialog like they would have in Windows explorer.
Alternatively this functionality could be added to explorer, but I
don't think its worth the trouble because then we would have to add
more complexity like sending a message to the existing explorer.exe
process.

Changelog:
