I would only add that the "Key features missing" section of: 
http://www.oliverthered.f2s.com/projects/wine/
would be nice to see as well. most notably "DirectX 8 intergration of 
the above" and there is still
some room for improvements even in DX 1-7.
As Andi has already pointed out, were not the ones to try and tell 
someone what to do :-)

Thanks from me as well...... Hell of a job thus far!
