Just a quick post to show that Vineyard (and python-wine) now handles shell links (.lnk files):

If you’re interested in the technical stuff, python-wine can now read all the contained info in a Windows shell link using its own “binary” module (which is completely self contained and usable in other projects without including the entire python-wine). The reading is done using the standard Python module “struct” with no external dependencies.
