Cool.

Well I am interested in sharing the code as much as
possible so we dont duplicate a lot of work. WINE has
adopted our regsrv32 so we can move it out of rosapps
I guess. They also have a regedit that is commandline
compatable with windows regedit. If you are interested
in looking at winefile, regsrv or regedit from the
current wine sources I am going to sync the rest of
wine/programs now.

Jason and David have been working on implementing
windowing. I think they are getting very close but
they would have to comment on the DefWndProcs. I think
CreateWindow works now and Jason is working on
adapting the WINE user32 code. As for comctl32 I am
working on fixing the WINEisms in it and shell32. I
will be commiting new snapshots of those today.

There are currently 2 Major forks of Wine, one of
which is X11 and the other at the winehq.com site
which is LGPL. Most people done have a problem doing
X11 but some do and we license each release of ReactOS
as GPL so to contribute back we have to check.

Thanks
Steven
