Done for about 3 monthes, no more time for it :-)

IMHO, and really "in my opinion", loosing time to integrate it inside gdi32
whithout proper guidelines would be crazy. I mean, I'd never do it :-)
The intermediate step was made (among other reasons) to check if the
upcoming driver had the chance to be accepted.
Moving it *now* inside gdi32 would mean a big loss of time with almost no
hopes to see it in mainstream, added to the above effort of keeping it
in sync with changing gdi32.
OTOH, if winedib would be embedded as-is or with some minor mods, I could
od course take the job of moving it stepwise into gdi32.
