 The more important parts are already working.

Can I get you some KoolAid? (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11727#c10).  In a sense I am not porting anything, just adding some x11 related functionality.

That's the beauty of winelib. My linux / gcc code compiles without winelib just fine, winelib just allows it to foreign function call code in AutoHotkey.dll.

Its not difficult to compile xev and xwininfo and xdotool functionality with winelib and call it from autohotkey on the wine side. I have already done some of it.

This patch discussion (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11727) is interesting.  Although I may contribute to wine  someday, I do not want my port to depend upon wine patches yet.  I just want to rip out that array / function necessary for x event to vkey translation.
