wine is not using gets() at all, insofar there is no risk from it.
That much I knew, however we do use strcpy (especially in msi), and that is another one that has been deprecated ("banned")..
See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288454.aspx for the complete list..
It would be quite hard to convert gets -> gets_s by magic ;)
hmm, I thought so, and re-reading the page, it appears that it is actually more of a proposal, than a list of api's that have actually already been deprecated, however if msdn has an article from the sdl that pushes for the deprecation of non-strsafe functions, I think we should take that seriously, and at least investigate the difficulty (I'm not pushing for it to be replaced anywhere in the code right now, because we are already spread too thin).
