-    <h3>Cross referencing the Windows executables and libraries</h3>
-
-    <p>The idea is to write a Perl script that analyzes the Windows dlls and executables of a 
-    regular Windows installation and cross references them. This would generate Web pages 
-    telling you which API is used by which program/library and reciprocally.
-    Analyzing the import/export section of PE executables is quite simple: it's just a matter 
-    of running dumpbin (part of Visual C++) or pedump (open source) on them and then parsing 
-    the resulting text file. This already being done with the wpbtk toolkit.
-    To view winapi_check output see <a href="http://fgouget.free.fr/wine/winapi_stats-en.shtml">Quick API statistics</a>.

-    <h3>Check which APIs are missing for a given program</h3>
-
-    <p>The scripts that scan a Windows environment could be modified to restrict the scan to the dependencies 
-    of a given executable/set of executables. Then these results can be cross-referenced with the results 
-    of the above script to tell you which APIs this program is missing, what percentage they represent, etc. 
-    Reciprocally one can weight each API according to how often they are referenced in a given environment to 
-    produce an approximation of the likely hood that such an API will actually be called. Note that this would 
-    just be an approximation because we would miss all the dynamically loaded APIs and libraries 
-    (since we only scan the statically linked dynamic libraries). This would be an even more approximate 
-    measure of the likely hood that the program will work: even though a program references an API it may never call it, 
-    work even though this API does not work, or really depend on this API or even some undocumented aspect of this API. 
-    Still this may provide a better approximation of the completeness of Wine than just treating all APIs as equivalent.
