- A bit of documentation stuff (rather worryingly "fix the docs build

As we discussed during the IRC session, this is not a blocker. Essentially I need to get back to it and resubmit some patches that have fallen off Jeremy's radar.
- Configuration, ie winecfg and an auto setup wizard thingy. John K Hohm
has been making great progress lately with making DLLs self register, but unfortunately nobody has really stepped up to work on winecfg. We may or may not get the patches from Mark it seems :|
Yes, this one is a bugger. Mark, what is that status on those patches? If you have anything, it's better to send them in so others can pick up where you guys left off.
There are a few other things, like DLL separation, and completing the work to make DLLs self register.
This is critical, IIRC. John just submitted some more patches, but I have no idea how much work there's left. John, can you give us a status update on the DLLs self register task?
Is there anything else we might need? I'm tempted to say that having InstallShield work is a priority, as it seems to have broken quite a bit lately.
IIRC, Alexandre also wanted InstallShield to work properly for 0.9.
On the TODO list it says that some window management hacks exist but more debugging work is needed - does anybody know the status of that? A lot of InstallShield installers at the moment fail due to that X11 ConfigureWindow error - how hard is this to fix?
That's Alexandre's turf -- anything new in that area?
Having a wine.inf to set up a new installation, does anybody have details on that? Is this just a case of eating our own dogfood, or is it really a must have for 0.9?
I guess a bit of both. I'm not sure it's a blocker for 0.9, but if we have the self register stuff in place + the configuration cleanup, we might as well do it, and have a more modular installation...
