I don't know if the  gdi lock problem is fixed; it does not matter
much since there is also something else broken : the driver
loading.

I have ttydrv working with my (now antique) reference : wine 20000801.
If I test it, driver loading occurs through the driver loading (code
in windows/driver.c). With current Wine, this code seems  to be not
used and the driver is loaded by graphics/driver.c, by
DRIVER_FindDriver.

With LoadLibraryA.

Try to load a 16 bit library like a Win95 printer driver with that.

I suspect it is yet  another victim of the Dll separation :
the new DLL hell :-)
