The discussion on 16-bit support for cards.dll led me to an interesting theory. As I said, soon we will be not necessarily abandoning 32-bits, but writing more 64-bits.. Sure we have separation to keep things apart, but wine is starting to get loaded down with things that only a small minority of users need anymore.. Perhaps it is time (just another idea) to copy out the 16-bit code into it's own project? That way we can organize things more efficiently, and at the same time, reduce 1) download time of wine, and 2) compile time.
Of course, we would still leave 16-bit support in the main project, but we would no longer maintain it there.. We could maintain it in wine16....

Comments? Suggestions? Flames??? Bring it ;-)
16bit support is deeply integrated into the WINE core and not easy to extract.
And it is usually not touched by current work anyway, so I really see no need to split it off.
