I'll try, but I only have solaris machines at work, and this is far from 
my main focus on Wine (I'm working on BiDi, if you remeber correctly 
;-). I am only looking into solaris at all because at work we use some 
windows compat library for solaris (don't remeber the name, but it 
wasn't mainsoft's) for the GUI part of the product. I am sprinkling the 
idea to the Unix GUI team here to check Wine out.

The response so far has been moderetely positive. (using those compat 
libraries incures a non-trivial per-seat license that goes to MS, as 
well as horrible support. They have been complaining that response time 
on one incident was ONE YEAR!!!! and the idea of having the sources to 
the library itself were appealing to them). The main problem was that it 
would take over two days of effort just looking into it, and they cannot 
spare the time.

I just D/L the CVS to see what it would take. I am also not an autoconf 
expert. If I have more spare time at work, I will have a look at that. 
If not, I'd rather spend my Wine dev time trying to figure out how the 
fr1661n6 h377 one is supposed to go about implementing the humoungous 
monster that is GetCharacterPlacement without creating a 500 lines function.
