This only just occured to me, but I think it might be a good idea...
There are thumbnailer applications out there for the strangest formats now (like NDS files) next to most file browsers auto-generating thumbnails for images and keeping it in ~/.thumbnails. I was wondering how feasible it is to have Windows app's icons extracted and used as a thumbnail for these apps though. Makes apps easy to identify and in a whole just more Windows-like.

Should be more-less easy to do. But you really do not want whole Wine for that.
All you need are some small pieces to find resources in the PE file, find which one is the icon for the app, and extract it. Most of that already is done in winemenubuilder.
