Nice read, but what I was saying and should have said, is if there is no
possible way of implementing this function in Wine, then the fixme
should not appear.  If there is a way of implementing it, then the fixme
should remain.

I don't know if it is possible to implement this function in Wine given
its differences from Windows and that it is an API only layering.
