Changelog: start.exe: Implement /D option, add new wine specific feature allowing to specify the shell operation name.
The new /O[peration] command line option allows to specify a shell operation other than "open". This is very valuable for testing or implementing actions from shell scripts.
It is also possible to pass a NULL operation by specifying the empty string '' (or whatever looks like in your preferred shell).
Examples: wine start /d 'c:' notepad.exe wine start /o print README.txt
Only submit one fix per patch. Please read the WineHQ patch guidelines: http://winehq.org/site/sending_patches
Why are you adding a new switch? This isn't provided by native start.exe, so we shouldn't add it.

Well, I will, but i hate to have patches depend one on another.

Because in windows there's a graphical interface that allows access to shell operations while in wine there isn't one. To implement these from a native file browser calling some executable is a good solution. As start.exe provides most of the needed functionality I don't think we should duplicate all the code just to add a small extra feature.

Give winefile a try.
