Wine has an advantage over ReactOS in that area. Wine can use an existing OS functionality and pass the calls down to the system libc (except obvious cases such as file and memory APIs). ReactOS has to implement all the things on its own. The crtdll case is an easier one: most of the crtdll functions are just the forwards to the appropriate msvcrt counterparts, so it should not be hard to share code for this dll. -- Dmitry.
