That would be developer pain traded for user pain. We like that don't we?

I don't understand this. Is this the consequence of having PE DLLs in
c:\windows\system? Couldn't we still use the ELF variant for that (compiled
from the very same source?). I mean, the PE DLLs would only serve as dummies
for apps that need them, not used by Wine itself in case there is an ELF
variant available. Hmm, maybe this is getting too complicated?

We have some cross compiled DLLs on sourceforge now which we could
point users to.
