Am I correct in assuming that a native msvcrt.dll is useful mostly to people porting Windows applications to architectures other than x86?
If you will replace the word "native" with "builtin" in the above sentence you will be almost right.
Since the native msvcrt.dll works with Wine, and is a redistributable, I'm not sure how useful a Wine implementation of it is going to be. Am I missing something?
You are missing the eventual goal of the Wine project: to have a Win32 layer for *nix with a completely microsoft free code base.
