at some point, I was also thinking of:
- implementing the wine debug messages with the
OpenEventLog/ReportEvent/EVENTLOGRECORD... API (using some specific wine
channels)
- implement those APIs with various log files capabilities (either
redirecting to stderr as we do now, or to some files in /var/log/wine/,
or /dev/null...)
but this would impact the performance of our logging, especially relay
logging :-(, no I never actually tried to do it
A+
