what worries me is that status, from a DLL point of view, could be seen 
from different angles:
- current status page gives an overall status, without focusing on any 
particular detail
- you start creating another status page about the UI status of Wine
- some good other fellow might want to start with, say, Unicode status 
in various DLLs or level of comments or attached bugs or...

this matrix about status(es): on one side the various DLLs we're working 
on, on the other side some metrics/characteristics we want to 
highlight... and working only by rows or columns is not very efficient
I also agree that working on the ful matrix would be also difficult (at 
least to put it in place)

another piece, I forgot about some other control(s) (and here it's more 
than a simple control):
- MCIWndClass in msvideo/msvfw32

A+
