Huh? OK, I have been away from Wine development for a few years but it not
ReactOS under GPL and/or LGPL? Or have I missed something.

In any case implementing Splay and AVL trees is hardly rocket science and just 
looking at other implementation and being inspired is allowed regardless of 
license.

Any implementation of anything must start somewhere. But OK we can let the 
stubs remain in the spec file if crashing applications is preferred and 
unstub them for each complete implementation.

Still applying the patch minus the .spec change won't hurt and is a good 
start...
