Is there are any reason why do you need this functions at all? According to ddk they are part of "Installable File System Drivers". This is a kernel level thing only and no user app should use these routines.
Should, perhaps. Does, well that is a different matter entirely. :-)
Secondly we could perhaps find use for them ourselves. Splay and AVL trees are nice.
Especially stabbing them won't do you any good if something actually using them. But that something has no place to run in Wine yet.
ReactOS has some sort of implementation of them so I guess we can borrow that I think the code in under the correct license. It seems to depend on some sort of external library though. Not 100% sure.
In any case having them stubbed in better than nothing. I don't think implementing them is that difficult either. There are very likely to be code there beside the ReactOS code that we can borrow or link to. Splay and AVL trees are not really rocket science.
