I believe this is the correct way to go. The whole purpose of WineLib
is to give a way to copmile/link win applications. We need to ensure
"off the shelf" portability and compilability (if that's a word).
We need to ensure ensuring that no UNIX header files are in our header
files (which as been suggested and really should already be the case).
and perhaps write a little warning file with things to look out for if you're
daring enough including UNIX calls with your WineLib application (perhaps
even suggesting possible work arounds - there must be a standard work around
possible). I don't think that there's much value in worrying about mashing
the two systems together.
Excuse me if these points were already brought up. I haven't really been
following too closely.
