Wine 0.9 TODO v0.1

[Dimitrie O. Paun]

This is based upon the Wine 0.8 TODO v0.2 send earlier to the list.

It is important to get a comprehensive list of what needs to be done,
in order to have a successful 0.9 release. This includes all things
Wine-related, not only the code.

I can not do it alone -- I need your input.

Before I start, a quick reminder for the 0.9 criteria:
  -- Users can start using Wine
        -- works well for a fair number of apps
        -- no MS DLLs required (from real Windows)
  -- User facing stuff (website, docs, etc.) are in
        a decent state, to avoid scaring them away
What is NOT in 0.9:
  -- stable server protocol (no binary compatibility)
  -- DLL separation (phase 2)

Please review it, and let me know if:
  - I've left something out
  - Something is in, and it doesn't belong in here (for 0.9 that is)
  - I have put your name on a task you are not working on
  - I have NOT put your name on a task you are working on
  - You have a status update (if you're working on something)
  - You want to start working on some of these.

Comments, flames, suggestions, are appreciated, as always.

  1. Finish DLL separation Phase 1 [IN PROGRESS]
     That is, DLLs should use only functions exported through .spec file.
