This is bad news. I should be able to reference say icon 167 from Shell32.dll
without having to include the dll itself(for sure illegal) or extracted icon
files (maybe illegal) in the installation package.
If you copy-paste the .lnk files to another machine, they automatically find
the referenced icons form shell32.dll, so why not support this when creating
shortcuts with MSI?

Possible legal issues could be avoided by creating the lnk file beforehand,
and including it as a normal file in the installation. This of course
defeats the whole purpose of MSI powered shortcuts and the whole dynamic
generation of them is also gone down the drain ...
