Win32 shell integration - kbuildsycoca4 enhancements

Hello!

After I seem to have made a mistake when applying for a KDE SVN account 
(resulting in the password I chose not being accepted), I'll send my 
kbuildsycoca4 enhancements as patch/diff, which I hope will find some 
interest among KDE for Windows users and developers. The code is in an alpha 
stage, and following restrictions still apply:

- Command line handling: Launching applications that require command line
arguments is far from reliable; I haven't managed to devise a proper
correspondence between KDE/freedesktop.org argument placeholders and the 
Win32
conventions for these.
- Icon extraction doesn't work yet for icons that are embedded as resources 
in
EXE or DLL files.
- The duplication of the hierarchical layout of the Windows start menu is 
still
imperfect.
- Integration into kbuildsycoca4 is still missing; the application I wrote 
still
needs to be run manually, and then kbuildsycoca4 must be run again with a
special command line switch (kbuildsycoca4 --with_win32).

Feedback is appreciated at any time!

With best regards,
Fabian Aichele
