That requires code to get from a .url file to the URL it links to.
I assume that's not covered by the existing symlink stuff on nsIFile?
string instead of nsIURI because this is xpcom (=> no necko), and because the current callers want a string.
So. this is my proposal. Any comments on this?
Seems OK.

Use |AUTF8String| instead of |string|. URL strings are best represented as UTF-8. This is important since xpconnect needs to know what to do if it encounters a byte with the 8-th bit set.
ResolveShortcut might be confusing here since the Win32 nsLocalFile implemenation already thinks of files that end with .lnk as shortcuts. Is there maybe a better name for files that end with .url? If not, then maybe we need to at least choose a more distinct name here to avoid confusion in our code.
I asked christian to send this email out because I'm not sure that nsILocalFileWin is the best solution here. It works, but maybe there is a better solution. I'd prefer to avoid introducing a new service, and since we have nsILocalFileMac, adding nsILocalFileWin seems reasonable.
