Look at the copy protection stuff that transgaming have added to their
tree: they licensed it and thus quite likely can't publish the source
for this - but I still want to see this in the binary only releases
they make :-) Other scenarios I can imagine: drivers for hardware -
think of a company that wants to port their software to Linux via wine
but continue using a dongle or something like that: the dongle code
is quite likely to go into the kernel itself (and may need some support
for that by the wineserver).

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
