I have been scratching my head trying to figure out a way that Samba, Samba-Tng, ReactOS, FreeDCE
and Wine can all work together on some of these projects. I don't know much if anything about
DCE/RPC so I can only guess that all of the existing free implementations were either

A) not suited for Wine by design.

or

B) there were license issues.

Option B was the case of Wine developing its own IDL compiler and some of the SMB support
implemented in Wine. Samba being GPL caused quite a bit of a problem for us.

Thanks
Steven
