OK, I did not say it explicitly, but the discussion was a matter of
principle only since standard cpp works. I agree with you about unnecessary
deps. But to my mind, if a tools helps wine be better (cleaner, faster,
etc), I opt to use it rather than complain about the dependency. I was just
curios about your stand on this matter.

That's good news -- let's use that then and make wrc smaller, and faster.
Bertho, do you see any problems with that?
