explorer_new

[Adam Kachwalla]

Can anybody tell me what explorer_new is meant to be there for?

I understand people used to be working on it before, but it seems  
abandoned.

Ah well it seems that i isn't "abandoned" as such - there was one commit  
in 5 months.
However there is more work on the old explorer than there is on the new  
one, which is rather confusing.

If nobody else is working on it substantially I am willing to take up to  
the task.

BTW Chris, you from .au too mate? ;)

It’s relatively complete, it’s the support libraries which are incomplete.

The only people with then necessary COM and shell skills (which is only really 2 of the ros devs) are either busy with other things or on sabbatical.

Although it seems completely non-functional in the latest trunk builds.  
Start menu doesn't work, etc.

It used to work quite well in Windows though.
