I thought this is interesting for games. But have you figured when we
use this thing (if at all?). Lionel, what is this useful for?

This is useful for games, so I've figured it's interesting for end users.

Would that include stuff in [afmdirs] as well? That's that use for BTW?

Right, but would that include "FILE:" too? In windows you have GUI
for setting the filename IIRC...

Right, I don't know what I was thinking :)

Cool, but did I miss any? To come up with the list, I've started with
the documentation/samples/config file. Are there options that should
be listed not present in that file?
I've attached a new version. Now, I'd like to know:
-- Do everybody agree with the "Needed" column? Most importantly,
do you see items marked as "cfg" that shouldn't, or items that
are not marked as "cfg" and they should? Please take a few min
to review the list, so we can have a better idea of what needs
to be done in winecfg.
-- Did I miss any? To come up with the list, I've started with

-- What about the Dynamic column? Did I miss any or did I include
too many?
-- Same questions for the PerApp column.
Guys, we need everyone's help with this one. As the next step I'd
like to make sure that:
(1) the list is complete
(2) we all agree on the Needed/Dynamic/PerApp columns.
This is very important for a number of reasons, including:
-- puts a bound on what we need to do
-- provides a clear and concise list of what needs to happen
-- helps Mike with the important winecfg work
Once we do that, we can start arguing about the default
values, these may prove a bit trickier with the autodetection
stuff, etc.
Everyone's comments are appreciated.

Dimi.
