the main reason it is currently a variant instead of part of the normal
distribution is stability - ie it hasn't been tested enough. It's not
fair to break valgrind for all the people who aren't using WINE...

if we can get some of the WINE developers to use it a bit (hint hint) then
we can sort out any bugs and hopefully get a full merge into valgrind.

I suspect what will actually happen is that the generic parts of the patch will get
merged into the main valgrind tree first, then the WINE specific stuff will
be a no-brainer at some point.

it should be hard to read, and even harder to modify.
