Hi - probably my first comment after lurking here for a few weeks. Is
there anything that a user type (I'm not a developer in any sense) can
do in this area? I run Windows and have lots of apps I want to run
under Wine. I've been entering info as I figue it out in the Wine bug
database, but so far that isn't helping me get my programs running.
I've wondered a number of times about installing Windows programs
under Windows and extracting all of the changed registry entries and
then reporting them somehow.

Is this possible? 

I'm not sure the apps I want to run are the ones you all would all
'common', but they are common to follks doing audio work. (recording,
writing, etc.) In the end would this be helpful?

Thanks,
Mark
