However, it seems that this patch was never applied and I'm wondering why. Note that I haven't tried to apply this patch and test it locally.
I'm the author of the patch, and I uploaded it on my site. It works well at least for me, I tried some different path types with my function and the original function and seems to work exactly like it for the one I tested with.
The problem is that I haven't cleaned up it (and I have no time to do that, since there's a lot of style that should follow and I'm too occupied to learn also the wine's coding style), and so can't be applied AFAIK. I also posted some time ago to ask if someone who already know wine's coding style can clean up the patch and merge it, but nobody replied.
I can say that using the default builting shlwapi an application I wrote doesn't work at all, but with my patch (or using the native shlwapi) it works well, so I think this could replace native shlwapi in many applications.
