Re: the recent discussion on code commenting and documentation, it'd be
nice if the patch explained this somewhere. It'd be even nicer still if at
some point one of you guys could take a break from the codeface and write
a chapter for the Wine Developer Guide on shaders and how all this works
... it seems incredibly opaque and the last thing we want is a re-run of
the DCOM situation where the only people who understood it left or hacked
on other things for a while and we lost the knowledge of how it worked.
