Unfortunately that's not that simple. Wine programming requires Windows
API programming skills as well, one needs an experience of using at least
APIs for the component(s) of Wine he/she is going to write the code for,
and a good knowledge how it's supposed to work/operate internally. One
should be prepared to write lots of tests to investigate/clarify behaviour
described/missing in MSDN.
