Well, I'd suggest to leave adding menu entries to be done by desktop-dependant
dynamic libraries, that would be distributed by separate "glue"-
packages. These can write the desktop specific link files. The advantage
would be, extra arguments can be stored in the link files, that don't
exist in the .lnk files (like wine version, winerc path or command-line
arguments).
Consider also, You'll also want to modify the link files, which isn't that
easy to be done for the *.lnk ones.
