I worked in industry where 'borrowing' code could end you up in lots of 
trouble.  First with the company's legal department, as you did not hold 
title to the code and now they cannot legally release their product.  
Second, with the legal department of whomever you 'borrowed' the code 
from.  Gets really aweful from this point.  With Wine 'battling' a 
rather large, legalistic company, we need to stay completely clean.  And 
I mean 'squeaky' clean.  All of the code must be original code that does 
not duplicate any of the code from that very large, legalistic company.  
If we were to loosen our 'grip' in one area, it could spell doom to the 
entire project.  Thus we cannot use code from other like projects and we 
certainly cannot use code that has unknown origins. 
So, thank you for your kind comments. and no we cannot use the code that 
the OP hinted at for this project, ever.
