Ah, I didn't know that. I thought winelib was more like a replacement
for the SDK. (And maybe it's that, too; as a UNIX weenie, I'm well
outside my knowledge base here.)

I think I begin to understand. And I'd guess that's why Scott
described it as a converter, not as built-in functionality.

True, but that project would be less appealing to us, as it wouldn't
require the student to open our code base (or yours, for that
matter), and what we'd like is for the student to evolve into a
regular contributor.
Hope this helps,
