Now we rely on winereg? is that correct (I should know this ;)

I've been making some steady progress today, managed to get CD auto
detection working (from some freevo code) and I've added basic SAX
parsing for package lists. I hope I can get a base shell working soon. 

I would love it if people would get involved, a few good coders can have
SVN/trac access I'll work on opening up to the public soon.

pygtk/pyxml/wine hackers/shell scripters very welcome.

Some clarification i need is on how wine executes applications.

AFAIK this is how it works.

wine runs the wineserver and wine-pthread and when the application exits
cleanly wineserver goes too, otherwise winedbg starts. I have code
waiting for wine exit (similar to winetools) which currently works but
I'd like to make sure i'm on the right track ;)

I'd also like to know what is the best way to kill a wine process and
when it should be killed (currently I'm waiting indefinitely for wine to
exit, then waiting 5 minutes on the wineserver).

When is the best time to use wineboot? What purpose does it serve, what
can it break.

Cheers,
