 no, i'm saying that it opens up the doors to the next level for wine
- networked msrpc interoperability.

 yes it would be nice, wouldn't it.

 however, if there's a nicer design that would involve _more_ effort
on my part rather than less, then offers of money should accompany the
requests to implement the better design, to compensate me for the
additional time spent.

if however the nicer design turns out to involve _less_ effort on my
part, i'm very very happy.
