   * Support launching of Windows executables w/ regular OS executable-launching
     methods (like ./executable)

You can already double click .exe files. running ./executable would need a
kernel module I think and force users to chmod u+x their executables, not sure
if that will be more userfriendly than now.

   * Implement a windows-like look-and-feel (like for example a "Wine Menu" to
     replace the Start Menu, a folder viewer that feels more like Windows
     Explorer with a few Wine touches, etc)

Not done yet.

   * Here's a big one: implement Wine configuration editing into Wine control
     panel.

We have now winecfg.

   * Pre-install several commonly-used Microsoft libraries such as Visual C++     
     Runtime, DCOM, etc.

I don't think we'll ever provide proprietary software with Wine. However theses
libraries have progressed well on the Wine side.
