Git is a realitively new product.  Wine has been around before this was 
released.  Some of the commented out code has no one in git to blame....

Also, if I were looking at this code from a pure security standpoint 
(which I can do), git blame is NOT VALID.  Thus, I stand on my original 
statement:  If you put it there, there should be comments IN THE CODE.  
If you blocked something out, you should take ownership.

Sorry, AJ, but that is a legal stance, not a practical one.
