You could really help me out by working on comdlg32. I have been working on spliting the Win16/32 
code from this dll for a while now so ReactOS can use it. Take a look at it and ole32 to see how
we split Win16/32 code.

ReactOS has a calc.exe clone in the rosapps CVS tree that needs work.

If you want a quick one to help on you could implement delay loading of user32.dll in regedit. We
implemented a GUI front end for WINEs regedit in ReactOS but it is not merged in to winehq because
Alexandre doesnt want it to call user32 and the GUI by default. We have regedit scripts that use
the comandline in WINE and there is no point in neededing to invoke the GUI.
http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/06/0040.html Here is the patch that merges the
GUI frontend.

Thanks
Steven
