It's e/src/esrc/scripts/capletLauncher.e-awt

The rune launching system already associates the extension .caplet with this 
launcher, so if you have a file such as capEdit.caplet, on windows you can 
double click on it on the windows desktop to cause it to launch under the 
capletLauncher. On *nix or cygwin, if capEdit.caplet is executable and begins 
with a

     #!/usr/bin/env rune

as it should, you can also launch capEdit.caplet by using it as a shell command.
