AutoFS-ed drives

Anybody using autofs and wine? Does it work? I don't follow wine development 
lists, so maybe autofs is no longer a problem. Once in a while I build a CVS 
snapshot and test whether the odd app I still have works. And wine on autofs 
doesn't work here. I think Guido already sent a mail about this last month.

Guido patched wine way back in Feb 2003, submitted a bug

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283

and even set up a page to describe the problem

http://freespace.sourceforge.net/guidod/wine-vol-a/

Since then he has completely rewritten the patch in order to search 
the /etc/auto.* files for drives. This obsoleted the additional options in 
wine's config with the old patch. This last patch worked perfectly until 
recently.

However, Guido is busy right now and cannot work on the patch. And my C is 
pretty bad. If anybody is interested I can provide the last patch known to 
work. If for some reason the patch does not meet wine's standards, would it 
be possible that the autofs problem is recognized and put on a TODO list for 
later? Or even close the bug as WONTFIX?

thanks

Mark
