Which call is the one calling _wcsicmp?

I am interested in writing a plug-in, but not in taking the same
approach that Christian has. It would make much more sense to link
WMP's metadata/property handlers to the shell handlers so that were
one to write metadata support for the shell then WMP would also have
that support.
