I wonder how http://www.winehq.org/site/winapi_stats is generated and if 
it checks for the word "stub" in the FIXME's too for the detection of 
"pseudo-stubs". As the stubs are eliminated from the spec files checking 
for the stubs would have to happen only in the code. Functions that do 
not return STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED or do not do the appropiate 
SetLastError(ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED) call would need the "stub" 
message in the FIXME. Unless we consider the informations in 
http://www.winehq.org/site/winapi_stats to not be worth the effort.
