Good to know as i never ever had or looked at the SDK. If there is 
interest in this i can make my program into a undname replacement.

Why not make winedump a Wine app and use the dbghelp and other related 
dlls? That way we remove redundant code, don't have to backport fixes 
(this is unsexy and people will forget to do it) and we will have an 
other application besides winedbg that uses and tests our dlls.
