At Corel, we had MFC compiled and running sample apps in WineLib in late 1998.
It's mostly a question of the Wine headers, which weren't originally up to snuff.
We did quite a bit of work on them, and most of those changes have been contributed
back to WineHQ, so it should be pretty easy now. The other thing that was a
big deal was getting the startup code working properly - since MFC needs to
initialize static data *after* WineLib gets initialized. I believe that that
issue has been addressed now on the WineHQ side with some of the work done on
the .spec file tools recently.
