mike, hi, what is my incentive to do that? i am presenting the wine team with an opportunity to save time and effort, because i feel a sense of responsibility and a duty to do so: i hate to see people waste time and effort duplicating code - _especially_ people who do so in a free software environment. as things stand, however, the amount of effort i can spend it ends there, however, because the last time i was paid and actively encouraged to work on free software ended in 2000. i would therefore be delighted to be presented with an opportunity and an incentive to provide you with as many nice incremental improvements and bite sized patches to wine-patches as you see fit to receive, evaluate and accept - especially an opportunity that saves other people stacks of time, effort and money. l.
