Hello, Huw!

Did you hear anything about Jesse Allen's version of DIB Engine: 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel/53234 (His version - 
http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/dibdrv.git )
Do you know why it was neccesary to restart solving this problem with your 
work instead of accepting and developing that version?
We'd like to continue develop your version. When are you going to remain this 
project?

Tha/nks, Serge.
