[ros-dev] ReactOS official compatibility target and the new build system

[Adam Kachwalla]

The only issue here is that we'd have to duplicate a lot of coding effort  
 from Wine - if we are to use most Wine code then we don't have to bother.  
We can just use the existing Wine DLLs as they are at this stage.

IMO if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)
