This contains no useful information about what issue this is supposed
to fix, unless you expect people to actually debug it themselves
first. And I even went through the trouble to lookup the bug.

0.0f/0.0f = -nan (0xffc0)
-(0.0f/0.0f) = nan (0x7fc0)

msvc complains about dividing by zero. I found the following works
around the error for MS Visual Studio 2010, although later version
might try to be "smarter".

static const float z = 0.0f;
const float neg_nan = 0.0f/z;
const float pos_nan = -(0.0f/z);

Note that neg_nan and pos_nan can't be static.

There are 2 ways really. Old ipods used usb mass storage which I had working at 
1 point, but in a hacky way. ipod touch and iphone need direct usb, which never

My main point was to use DECLSPEC_SELECTANY properly. It just looked

Then 64-bit Wine port, DIB engine/rewrite wouldn't be started; XI2, 
XRender, Xcursor support, IO completion ports wouldn't have been born; 
Winsock, OpenGL in child windows, Systray would work in much buggier way; 
and APC would fail in addition to 16-32 bit thunking issues.

I've forgot to mention countless fixes for window handling subsystem (in 
managend and unmanaged mode), COM mechanisms such as proxy delegations, 
marshaling, stubless proxies, RPC, Widl, X11 CopyPaste support, Inetcomm, 
Winhttp, implementations.  Plus ton of Unicode fixes.

All that would stay broken / unfixed / unimplemented.  But iTunes would 
probably work (in possibly wrongly architectured way).

Would such tradeoff be OK for the community?
No offense, but I doubt it.

I guess a lot more people / hrs than it is used for Wine.
My rough guess is 10 times.

In the case of Linux kernel, it is very different game, IMHO.

I have a Mac, and an iPod Touch. When I plug the iPod in, it doesn't
show up as an external disk in the Finder. So on Mac, iTunes definitely
does direct USB I/O. It's probably safe to assume it does on Windows, too.

It used to work that way, but Dan Kegel's analysis of a recent version
of iTunes seems to indicate it now pulls in USBD.SYS. Maybe they
changed it or maybe they now do direct USB I/O in addition to going
through the mass storage interface?

Do we need full-fledged support for USB drivers for iTunes? I've been told in 
the past that all we need to do is properly report the new USB drive to iTunes 
when an iPod is attached, and can leave the USB mass storage handling to the 
Linuy OS. Of course "properly reporting" isn't as simple as creating a drive 
letter and setting its type to USB drive.

I'm sorry to interrupt this nice project management discussion by throwing in 
a technical question :-)
