Hello Zeb,

That said, I'm not sure how best to actually do so. The source is predictably
ugly and all in C++, which makes importing it not particularly appealing, but
there's no good reason to leave it in an external library. Perhaps porting it
to C and rearranging it is the best option, but seems to be getting updates at
least along with major releases of Windows 10...

Microsoft promotes the porting of traditional WDM drivers to KDMF or UMDF for
some years now. Vendors are catching up on this, specifically with Windows 10.

I've only seen two drivers (with your addition) mentioned with Wine bug reports
as of now. Paul's stubbed wdfldr seemed to work for one driver but in the long
run it's probably better to have a proper design/lib port as we're likely going
to see more and more drivers using it.

It might be worth to bring up the topic on wine-devel. Some opinions if a C
port/internalization of the lib using Microsoft's WDF GitHub repo as reference
is feasible.

Regards
