Another good example is from the UI point of view where
you don't want users to have to deal with drive letters
in a Unix env. Using winelib it would be possible to
directly call GTK/GDK or KDE and use browse dialogs.

Of course some work seems to be going on to add support for
this directly to shell32 so someone else might know suggest
a better way.

Thanks
