Then the second goal is not going to happen either :(  Emmanual 
Malliard? and others have stated that the DIB engine is a pre-requisite 
for it.

The 'missing' pieces of DX9/DX10 would be a great deal maker for 1.4

This is under way by a few folks, right?

I hope that Mike can solve this one.

Again, this should be done quickly as well.

Wine 1.4 should have something in it along the level of x64 code or a 
bunch of updates/fixes.

I like the third one, and it is quite possible that this will be the one 
to make Wine 1.4 a possibility.  Many folks would love to use their 
favorite USB 'thingy', be it a dongle, iPod, etc.  that does not look 
like a serial device or a drive device.

Anyway, I'm plugging away at Max's last DIB attempt in bug 421 to see if 
it breaks on the Mac Intel platform.
