Hi Scott,
We mostly haven't made many significant changes to the LGPL DLLs that we've been picking up, other than modifications to allow them to build within our somewhat different build environment.
One place where we have made changes recently was to the iphlpapi DLL, and we recently submitted a patch for that. There have also been a couple of places in some of the crypto code when we've come across a bug, worked through it, and made a fix. But at least twice, a patch has been checked into WineHQ CVS just before we posted our fix.
We'll certainly be trying to submit patches to LGPLed DLLs that we make changes to where we can, but if anyone is interested in helping, we're happy to work with them too.
Take care, -Gav
Thank you Gav, that was quite helpful. I guess we are in this together after all.

The simplest thing to do is for someone to just track the code they release and diff it against our own stuff, and note if anything new and interesting (eg an implementation of a function) comes up. Then send in a patch if it seems like it could help us too. But, is anyone doing this?
It's really in their best interest to keep current with Wine.
Continually resolving conflicts and fixing the same bugs we've fixed is a waste of their time, and monitoring their patches is a waste of our time.
That makes a lot of sense.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
