[Bug 12380] Microsoft Word Viewer 2003: Cannot associate with *.doc files

Shouldn't this be fixed by 1.0? I mean, people who install Word viewer would
want the ability to associate *.doc files with it as easily as they can
associate native Linux apps.

My fix was to run word viewer from a script that detects if an arg is a path
(by checking if it contains a slash), and if so, replaces each / with a \ and
adds a z: at the beginning, and then passes the string to wordview.exe.

Come to think of it, all apps running in Wine (not just wordview) should be run
from such a script; this way user files passed on to them would be converted to
a DOS-path.
