The wine internal libraries are still about a megabyte of code, and it's silly to duplicate all of that whenever a single function changes. Symbol versioning is much better solution to that problem, and I don't see much reason for not using it (except on platforms that don't support it of course). -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
