Given that wsock32 forwards over 90% of the calls to ws2_32, let's go for that 
one then.

But I as a part-time developer can't keep track of all the areas in Wine. I 
don't know anything about.. say GUI.. or actually anything that's not secur32 
or maybe winsock. Where's the advantage of me refiling a bug someone filed 
as.. say "ws2_32" to "default" again because I don't know what gui component 
is responsible as opposed to me refiling it as wine-gui (see bug 9771 as a 
specific example that just came up).

Well, maybe. Once schannel is implemented, I probably won't look at those 
because I don't know about schannel. I don't get your point about having to 
read logs, because I think that is needed for all but the most obviously 
invalid bugs.

Nope. It forwards to secur32.dll, apart from two calls. I'm kind of certain 
we're just arguing about what color the bikeshed should be painted in, but 
either we just lump all sspi errors into one category, or we have one per 
logical module.

So I guess the real question is how much diversity we want and need.

Cheers,
Kai
