As I told before, the engine almost doesn't touch wine core.
It just add an intermediate layer between gdi32 and winex11.drv
to handle DIBs.
If not enabled, it can't simply harm anything, gdi32 will take the
usual way through winex11.
And, last but not least, the drivers *needs* to be explicitely enabled
by end user.... if not, it's like it wouldn't exist.
There's nothing to maintain in wine related do the engine, nor the
way around. The engine as it is should be applicable to any future
wine version, as lon as it doesn't change hardly the driver's function
tables or driver loading in dlls/gdi32/driver.c, which is *very* unlikely
to happen.
