This shouldn't be to difficult I guess. There are helper functions in
shell32.pidl.c which should be close to what this function does actually.

Something like this in pidl.c should do the trick:

HRESULT WINAPI SHParseDisplayNameW(LPCWSTR pszName, IBindCtx *pbc, LPITEMIDLIST *ppidl,
                                   SFGAOF sfgaoIn, SFGAOF *psfgaoOut)

{
    LPSHELLFOLDER sf;
    HRESULT ret = E_FAIL;

TRACE("%s %p 0x%08lx\n", debugstr_w(pszName), ppidl, attributes ? *attributes : 0);

if (SUCCEEDED (SHGetDesktopFolder(&sf)))
    {
      ret = IShellFolder_ParseDisplayName(sf, 0, pbc, (LPOLESTR)pszName, NULL, ppidl, &sfgaoIn);
      if (succeeded && psfgaoOut)
        *psfgaoOut = sfgaoIn;
      IShellFolder_Release(sf);
    }
    return ret;
}

Or you could probably use SHILCreateFromPathW() too for your purposes, which is similar.

ILFree() exported as ordinal 155 from shell32 should be the function to use.
It was undocumented in Windows for a long time but exists in shell32 since
at least Win95.
