I'm not a lawyer, so I don't see much difference between reimplementing
proprietary api with 1000+ functions and reimplementing particular sorting
order.
Wine implements windows-specific character encodings after all.

Please clarify this to me: If windows-specific tables were somehow obtained
(e.g. indirectly via calling specific API functions, sorting strings, etc.),
will they be incorporated in upstream wine? Or will this be rejected as
possible legal hazard? I'd like to see some comments before I start wasting
time on this. Any directions would be welcome.
