I have an idea:
Combine the SDL project with the Wine DirectX code. It is a great way to catch up with the winex project and SDL has also network code to begin working with the RASAPI32 DLL (used by various instant messengers).
Since SDL is ported to every platform out there it is also good for the portability of Wine. I only hope that the license of SDL doesn't give any problems.
