Good day!
Maybe it takes a Man from Mars to think that a windose function might ought to sort of do what its name implies, but the more I think about it, wouldn't it be simpler? It is right and proper for the functions of oleaut32.dll to be performed by liboleaut32.so and friends (if the Wine administrator so directs), but if the app asks for the version info for oleaut32.dll, and the named file exists (because the app's installer _put_ that file there, in this case) how about we give it the version info from that bloody file? If the file doesn't exist, we give it a builtin construct, say. IOW, disconnect file version from dll. I don't think it is any business of the app what does its work, so I don't see why it should be able to tell by GetFileVersionInfo whether the working blah.dll is builtin or native.
I guess you could make a case for a [VersionOverrides] section in the config, but I am not going to. That way lies madness.
I would be willing to take a shot at writing the code if that's what we decide we want, and if no one is in a great hurry for it, but...
Regards,
Lawson
