Mybe the only solution than is a proxy-IPC-process pair. Process been the winlib app.
This seems to be the case, yes. But than again, I haven't thought it through...
I think the above subject is very important. For example: I can easily use MS native DLLs to ODBC with MSSQL in a winelib app. (yes it works!) I thought then why not write a unixODBC wine driver that lets Unix apps enjoy what is available in wine. Hence the above problem. (unixODBC driver been the shared library)
Yes, I think this is a nice application. Or have a ghostscript wine driver that would open ghostscript to all Windows printer drivers.
However, this is not a simple problem. But maybe in such cases as these, where we have to interface through a well defined (and small) interface, the IPC idea may be feasible.
Are you game? :)
