Cool! :-)
This is looking better and better.

I'll try this and then come back to this list;
with whatever further unit testing progress I come up with.

I'll take it that some parts of Wine never will crosscompile
right? Makes no sense to port the kernel parts of Wine to Win32,
right? It would be like Linux ported to Linux. (I _know_ that exists...)
