Well, everything is possible :-/
Unfortunately, even native User doesn't work anymore; because of
address space separation, it didn't work with 32-bit apps any
longer, and now it doesn't even work with 16-bit apps because
recently KEYBOARD/MOUSE/DISPLAY have been folded back into USER ...
So, we'd have to:
- move KEYBOARD/MOUSE/DISPLAY out of USER again
- get -desktop working again
- try whether USER works for 16-bit and fix potential bugs
- find some clever solution (that currently I don't see)
to get USER running for 32-bit again
- probably even so it won't work for multiple 32-bit apps at
the same time, because 16-bit segments are no longer shared
(maybe use some hack that optionally moves 16-bit segments
into a shared heap; I can guess that Alexandre won't like
this however ;-)
For GDI, we'd have in addtion to:
- implement a proper DISPLAY driver to actually see any output
