Wine duplicates many of the data structures in Windows which are described in the patent. Code using the C syntax described in the patent doesn't compile in winelib yet, but this has nothing to do with the patent. Give me a week or two...
I don't think you can implement a Windows compatible environment without the SEH datastructures described in the patent. IANAL, but saying "windows compatibility is patented by Borland" is just silly. I, for one, am not worried about it.
