This is correct. I once stumbled onto the same problem with another
piece of software. I proceeded with incorporating the old code as an
alternative into the then-current wine, and switching as appropriate. It
worked, however Raphael had some objections as to the way the old code
did it's work. As I am neither a windows nor an OpenGL hacker, and also
since I switched my hardware, which made the problem disappear, I did
not pursue this further. Have a look at wine-devel from November 2005. I
can also send you the mails I have exchanged with some developers about
this.
