I must say, the turn this conversation has taken is interesting. In response<br>to what was written above, it does seem to me a curious precedent Alexandre<br>has set. After all, wasn't Wine developed to allow people to get AWAY from
<br>Windows? Yet, when we go to make a GUI toolkit to make it accessible to the<br>masses, what are we told? Why, write it for Windows, of course.<br>

1. You never mentioned what you want this "front-end" to
do. I think that's pretty important to whatever you're talking
about. Seems to me it might fit in with winecfg or something else
that already exists.<br>
<br>
2. Did you read the thread(s) about rewriting WineTools that
occurred over the past few months? Are you reinventing that wheel?<br>
<br>
3. Putting a GUI toolkit dependency on Wine will never make
everyone happy. Even worse, you can't even make a majority of
people happy. If you assume GNOME or KDE are available, you're
assuming you're running on Linux. <br>
