I'm thrilled you're doing this.  What's your software called?

I think that looks great.  If your patch isn't accepted in the next
couple of days, consider adding a simple conformance test and resubmitting.

But you can't do this:

as there's no legal entity called "the Wine project".  You have
to use your company's name, I think.  (And be sure they've
granted permission.)  Or if you have the rights to what you
do in your spare time, your own name is fine.

The wined3d headers use a simmilar line too:

* Copyright 2002-2003 The wine-d3d team

in wined3d_interface.h, wined3d_types.h and wined3d_gl.h. What should we do 
with them?

Hi Dan,

The software is called FuturERS. If you are interested on further info,
you can look at http://www.futura4retail.com.

I copied the header from another file in the include directory. I've done
it in my spare time and I don't insist on any copyrights on this patch.
So, I thought to copy this as it is, was a good idea.
