Re: WINE and iTunes

[Stephen Eilert]

I have seen patches in that bug report to add the firewall stubs. Is there
any problem with those patches?

Or, more to the point, is there any way I could contribute? I am not too
familiar with the firewall API or Marteen's work, but I am sure that can be
mitigated with some study :)

I might have found my personal Wine itch to scratch :)
