Thanks for the link. I would have thought it a bit weird anyway if anybody
would have write access to such a big project. :)

Basically it is just the question if there is a file where global names or
variables are collected. I don't know if such a thing exists, but I think it
has to because I guess that certain parameters like the command line switches
have to be available almost anywhere.

OK. I take a look at how windows handles this. Of course it is a better way to
do it the way, windows handles it to be as compatible to the original as
possible.

Actually I would have preferred to start with a different function, but then I
thought this functions is nice and easy to start working on wine. :) It's a
bit complex. :)
