[Bug 8439] shell32: Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003 install fails (SHELL_execute app path expansion)

The Problem for the patch is not related to this bug IIRC:

--- snip ---
-    todo_wine okChildPath("longPath", path);
+    /* strip the .so extension for comparison */
+    if ((extpos = strstr(path, libext))) *extpos = 0;
+    okChildPath("longPath", path);
--- snip ---

is needed because we get the path with ".exe.so" ending in wine.
I can remember that i tried to write a patch that lets wine execute winelib
apps if a native one isn't found, but that is quite hard it seemed.
e.g. if you want to run test.exe and in your path is only test.exe.so it isn't
executed atm, fixing that would make my test happy...
