Flattening dll directories.

[Glen Kaukola]

Hi there,

I was looking over the Janitorial section on the wiki, and it seems
like flattening dlls is something I could definitely handle.  Is this
something that's still needed or wanted?

And then how would that work?  Would I need cvs write access to get
anything done?  Or can diff produce a patch that handles moving things
around like that?

You should read the patch submission guidelines and winehq.org 
carefully, then browse the wine-patches and wine-devel mailing lists for 
a while until you get an understanding of how things work.

When you can answer the above questions for yourself, then you'll be 
ready to submit a patch.

No, there's no real need to work on it. I'm already working on moving
things, one bit at a time since CVS doesn't handle moves very
gracefully. Also it's actually easier for me to do the work directly
than to apply patches to do it.
