It would be really good for valgrind know about our heap implementation 
so that it could report memory leaks. A solution I've done in the past 
is to change all of the references to HeapAlloc/HeapReAlloc/HeapFree to 
malloc/realloc/free so that it can report leaks, but that isn't very 
convenient.

I think that is something that could benefit Wine a lot and wouldn't 
require very much Wine knowledge at all (although, it could require some 
knowledge about valgrind).
