Hi Alexandre,

In January 2008, Steven Edwards wondered[1] if you would let Wine import
"msconfig" (the System Configuration Utility) from ROS.  Would you allow it?

Un-CCing [e-mail] since Bugzilla showed me that he has disabled
Bugzilla CC mail reception in his user prefs.

I thought that when you added someone to the bug, that "someone" was always
notified. No wonder there's hardly any response to several regression reports
where the authors are cc'ed. So why do we bother to ask users to carry out the
regression tests then...

It is sent to [e-mail] mailing list. Each user can adjust their CC
preferences to their tastes. Most (if not all) developers are subscribed to
wine-bugs, so they will see those results/bugs.

This isn't a bug report.  If you a question for Alexandre, just ask him.  If
you're wondering whether code can be imported, try sending a patch.

Correct.  When I clicked "Commit", bugzilla told me:

Bug 14925 has been added to the database.

Email sent to:  [e-mail], [e-mail]
    Excluding:  jason.spiro@..., [e-mail]

That is how I realized Alexandre has Bugzilla CC's disabled.

Think of this as a feature request:  I am requesting the Wine team to please
add msconfig.exe to Wine.  :-)  The easiest way for the Wine team to do this is
to import it from ReactOS.  But first Alexandre must approve; so the bug is
first assigned to him.  If he approves, he says so and assigns the bug back to
nobody.  Then, hopefully somebody sees the open bug and imports msconfig into
Wine.

Considering that, could you please reopen the bug?
