RFC: Precompiled Headers for Wine Build (GSoC?)

Hey everyone,

Although I'm a student again, I don't really have the time or chops to 
apply for GSoC, at least not this year. I was randomly looking up things 
the other day though when I came across precompiled headers. I don't 
remember seeing any sight of them when I studied wine code in the past, 
and all I found on the mailing list was this:
https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2004-July/027933.html

It might not be a hard-enough task to warrant a GSoC grant, and I don't 
know enough about the details to add an entry to the wiki (Would 
precompiled headers work for wine? Does wine actually use them already?) 
I just thought I would mention it because if it makes sense for the 
project, it might be an interesting change with a big payoff for build 
times.

Kyle
