I dont know if any of these are in any of the TODOs but here goes.
all of these would go under porting issues for Mingw/Cygwin/MS_VC

- Better seperation of win16/32 code.
- remove/rewite win16/9x api dependancy on newer code
- remove/rewrite wineisms from code
- documentation fixes

I think all of this is high priortity but I am biased =)

I may be missing something, but there's already enough on that list
to keep all of us busy until the release of Windows ZXF 2016.

Are there plans to go through a public voting to determine which of
these we need to fix until 0.9/1.0 ?

Don't get me wrong, no specific recjection against Steven's points,
just a general question.

While the stuff I have recommend are not show stoppers for 0.9/1.0 I 
would like to see a simi-working
wine on Cygwin/Windows for 1.x and none of the changes that I am 
recommending should break binary
compatiblity with wine 1.0 so I think it should be on the list. I will 
work on the documentation part soon and
others have already started working on fixing the win16/32 overlap in 
certain places.

Thanks
