| of "craps". Some dissatisfaction with the compiler is expressed in
| private\shell\shell32\util.cpp:
|
| // the fucking alpha cpp compiler seems to fuck up the goddam type
| "LPITEMIDLIST", so to work
| // around the fucking peice of shit compiler we pass the last param as
| an void *instead of a LPITEMIDLIST
