No plans to send TortoiseHG patches from my side on this.

Some ideas for those who want to take a stab on this:

Maybe you can add a "check installation" menu
somewhere and show a window with some text results.

You could define a flag per handler and set that if
IShellIconOverlayIdentifier.GetOverlayInfo() [1] has been called and report
that back on "check installation".

I assume IShellIconOverlayIdentifier.GetOverlayInfo() is not
called by explorer.exe for handlers over the quota. At least,
might be worth to check that theory.
