This nobody's fault !!! :)

I think that the true meaning of this is that windows and unix are different 
systems, and thus, thay load dynamic libraries differently. Just think of it 
as an englishman going to Australia : he will understand most of what he is 
told, but sometimes, there is a word he won't understand.

Think of wine as putting a dll on unix : windows dll will feel like this poor 
englishman.
