Yesterday there was a discussion on IRC about the DIB engine. To
summarize it someone with a deep understanding of gdi32 should write
the DIB engine and the only one right now who he think is capable of
that is Huw. But he has no time to work on it right now (if there was
funding for lets say half a year or so there might be time). Another
solution might be (although I'm not sure if Huw is interested in that)
is for him to mentor some people in working on the DIB engine. He
would document how the DIB engine should be implemented and how it
should interact with other parts of Wine.
