No, I'd rather Wine be completely source-based.  Binary blobs don't seem right,
and as you know, we can't share ReactOS source code.

For what it's worth, I've looked at the FreeDOS command.com, and its
parser doesn't seem much better than what wine's cmd already has.

I'm looking for something a little more solid.
