I keep running into apps that won't run without richedit20.dll, yet I can't see any mention of that DLL in the wine 0.9 or wine 1.0 tasklists. Surely it's important enough to merit at least a mention in the wine 1.0 tasklist?

Nooooooooo, Wine 1.0 is ethereal enough as it is. The last thing we need is to be piling even more work onto it :) 0.9 has already suffered serious feature creep it seems, how did the WM rewrite get in there? 1.0 should be about libwine API stability IMHO, there will always be new DLLs that can be added.
Having said that I expect it would not be too hard to write a riched20.dll, I think it mostly forwards/wraps to our current implementation. The richedit is a huge bag of pain though as especially the later versions are basically miniature word processors. Currently we bodge the lack of this badly. We're going to need to look at this at some point.
