I'm not sure we want to go down the path of implementing the functions 
in this DLL. Furthermore, this file isn't present on an XP SP2 installation.

Can you give some information as to why this is needed and how the 
application depends on this DLL?

slc.dll is part of Windows Vista, and seems to be responsible for 
activation, key validation, maybe genuine validation and probably trial time 
limit.

I don't think that this is required by Wine unless the DLL has some 
publically documented API.

This dll is present for vista and Windows Server 2008.

The standard Solitaire under Vista requires this dll, and uses function 
SLGetWindowsInformationDWORD
(Stubbing this function was going to be my next patch).
