I would strongly recommend that this be done instead with xdg-utils:
Sure, but they can not handle files with spaces in them. Also they don't work as-is with Wine's winemenubuilder. Which will require at least one more wrapper script. Also they don't allow installing icons without specifying size. And all in all it will be 4 large scripts instead of 1 small.
That will allow us to avoid the pain of maintaining our own implementation, and allow distro vendors to make their distro work with Wine just by supplying a working version of xdg-utils.
It's been discussed multiple times here. And last time I remember agreement was not to introduce any additional dependencies. I have also checked, and not a single distro had those installed. I do not want to depend on something that's no one has, and no way to distribute it to users either.
The trick is whether or not we can persuade Alexandre and/or all of the Wine packagers to include xdg-utils by default in distributions.
That's not his call but packagers. And the problem will remain the same.

Probably because GNOME cannot handle files with spaces in them for the menus.
