           There's some progress, so a Wine version that's usable on Windows
           might be available at some time.

+          Part of the rationale for these projects is to find out areas where
+          Wine portability is lacking. This is especially true of the
+          ReactOS project which is a reimplementation of the Windows kernel
+          and should thus be able to reuse most of Wine dlls.

+          we made incorrect assumptions about how the dlls interact.
