Needing to change malloc->HeapAlloc and free->HeapFree is part of a larger 
problem. Other libraries are more important in this regard, but cannot be 
changed (eg. libGL mallocs tons of data, and we can't change that). A better 
way to handle that would be to override malloc (or more specifically mmap) to 
pull from Wine's heap.

There are patches in the works that do this, but there's straggling issues 
that AJ hasn't been able to work out yet. This is something that really needs 
to be done anyway, as GL/D3D are really suffering on cards with a lot of VRAM, 
so I don't think citing that as an issue is valid.
