Hey, I can't do everything! :))) I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

Please don't, it's not needed. If you want to use msvcrt, please
pass the -mno-cygwin switch. if that doesn' work, it's a bug
in winegcc.

That shouldn't happen. Can you please run winegcc with the -v flag,
and send the output my way please?

I've verified the source and it should. Maybe you can produce a 
--debug=FF trace?

We should encapsulate our macros so they can conveniently be
used by people in their configure.ac scripts. I think that's
the proper way to get autoconf integration.

It's true, but there are many reasons you need to install Wine
to be able to use Winelib. I doubt it will change in the near
future.

Maybe AJ can fix the Makefile. I think winegcc.o should depend on
the Makefile.

In progress :)
