What would most aid WINE development?

Jeremy,
I am sorry if my remarks troubled you.  Perhaps my meaning didn't come
across as intended?  I didn't mean to imply that WINE is not currently
useful or has an impossible task.  I believe just the opposite - that
WINE is useful and it can, one day, achieve 100% Windows
compatibility.  Though I do believe that given the consent decree that
was adopted, WINE's job was not made much easier.  I am simply trying
to figure out what would be the best aid to the WINE effort.

Thanks!
Susheel
