valgrind and wine

[Aric Stewart]

Hello,

  I have actually worked a little with Julian Steward on this problem 
just before 1.1.0  I actually have a build of valgrind here on my laptop 
with works with very simple wine applications. I remember there was one 
hack i had to do to the valgrind source to disable some of its sanity 
checking.

I could not get valgrind to work with more advanced wine programs 
because i kept getting

trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException code=eedfade flags=1 addr=0x402e1a30

if you want to work with valgrind i will did up how i turned off the 
sanity checking with 1.1.0 and see if you can get it working.
