You are completely ignoring the resources it requires to share
code. If you cannot share the whole component and without #ifdef
this and that then don't do it at all. If you want to rewrite
the lower level WINE and ReactOS components, then be my guest,
but it is a lot of work and it puts more restrictions on both
projects.
