I hear you. But that presents a problem. I guess a lot of Windows programs use C++, and thus some of the standard library. If we are to allow them to work with Winelib, it seems to me we to do something similar to the msvcrt. Now that we are LGPL, why not get the GNU C++ implementation, adapt it to work with our msvcrt, and ship it with Wine, just like we do with msvcrt. I'm not even sure how much work that is, but would that be acceptable as a future project?
I don't think we want to maintain our own version of the GNU C++ library. The right approach IMO would be to port it to Windows (if it hasn't been done already) and submit patches back to the main libstd++ tree. Then we can tell people to build the Windows version under Winelib.
