Peter> Agreed. This sums up quite well what I wanted to say ;)
Any new project with multi platform target in mind would probably be created on a more "library like" library than Wine(lib). However I guess few projects are created that way. Projects have often a long history, and for the last year Windows was the only target was windows...
So getting winelib in a more mature fashion will help all those legacy projects...
