Some offtopic (excuse me):

Jarto, a new patches arrives every day and amount of people interested in
*fixing the root* of the bug would decrease, thus making bug getting buried
deeper and deeper.  

IMHO many people consider this as a harm to future life of Wine.  There is even
joke story about it:

* The greatest programming project of all took six days; on the seventh day
* the programmer rested. We've been trying to debug the *&^%$#@ thing ever
* since.  
* 
* Moral: design before you implement.

The suggestion about some investigation of what gets broken is quite
interesting.  It would shed some light on the amount of stuff got broken.  Only
this the area of action should not belong to official Wine.

Its unclear for me: why do you need the patch to be in official Wine tree?  Does
something restrict you from applying it by your hand and making your own Wine
package for your favourite distro?

Can you make this to be a separate project, call it Wine-smoof, for example? 
IMHO this is the route by which both the CrossOver and Transgaming went.  And it
would attract lots of advanced users which are too hot to stay on wait for one
year more.  I would join it if it stays uncommercial.
