The patch was rejected by Alexandre because the patch was implementing that command using Windows API calls, when it should be implemented natively as POSIX/GNU calls.
Really? Where did he say that? It'd be nice to link to that from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7544

I asked him about it at WineConf and that is a summary of what he said.
I can't believe this, probably you misunderstood or misinterpreted something. ReplaceFile API needs to abide sharing and access rights rules which are known only to wineserver, and not known/available on the libc/kernel level.
Ok so what's the right way to implement this now? If I'm going to do this, and I most certainly wouldn't mind doing that, I'd like to be able to do it the right way the first time around.
Thanks,
