Anyone have any comments, or something they believe I should add
before I send the patch?

Wine Status - Known To Do's

Window management


Rewrite Wine's window management code to be able to change the visual of an X window once the window has been created.
In Desktop Mode all processes started from one wine invocation should be confined to one desktop window.
Window management needs proper inter-process handling of activation, focus, repaint.
Workaround for the "no keyboard without Desktop mode" problem.



National Language Support


We currently lack a way to model heirachical resources like those required by calendar information (each locale has a varaible
    number of calendars, with different attributes). This is a show stopper for completing the NLS Api (Get/EnumCalendarInfo etc).
Our text output needs to substitute fonts on the fly when characters to be printed cannot be represented in the current font.
Make sure ASCII functions call the Unicode one and not the other way around.(probably will stay forever.)
Add localization to more languages.(probably will stay forever.)
Add localization to more parts of Wine.(probably will stay forever.)
Better support of Chinese, Korean, Japanese...(currently in works)

WS2: Implement service programming interface (SPI), use for supporting
    other services.
Try to provide more services such as IrDA natively.
Fix stubs left in ws2_32.spec


cabinet


Compression API's remain unimplemented


RPCRT4


Implment the undocumented "NT Ports" API (aka "LPC") used by native NT
Fill out the matrix of per-type /Oi marshalling API's.

Sound Drivers


ALSA driver (on final 1.0 interface)
Improve the jack audio server, e.g. WaveIn & Resampling.
Implement the audio compression codecs.
Fix Sound Blaster emulation.


Video


avifil32: (sorted by decreasing priority)
       * make the whole library thread save
       * interface for AVI files:
         - native version has problems with reading our files
           (Is it still so?)
       * API for clipboard:
         - only stubs. (native version doesn't work).
       * AVIFileProxy is missing.
       * We have no implementation for IAVIStreaming, which doesn't
         result in missing functionality, but in possible performance
         loss. Even the native version has such an interface only for
         the AVI file handler.
      
msvfw32:
     * DrawDib needs some work:
       - Some flags are ignored
       - handle palette
     * semi-stub implementation for file dialogs with AVI preview.
       Need to use OFN_ENABLEHOOK flag.
     * stub implementation for codec-selection-dialog
     * resources are missing (also see the 2 above points)
     * StretchDib method is missing
     * many 16-bit methods are missing
     * MCIWnd:
       - Bug: shouldn't open device with filename if none given.
       - Bug: Windows stays empty when opening of device fails.

avicap32: "Video Capture"
     * only stub DLL.


FreeBSD

If Win16 program uses real mode code, there are code paths where Wine fails to properly initialize DOS memory.
DOS memory management code needs restructuring.
Ioport emulation code should be migrated to winedos.
VESA emulation is missing many important functions.
Bitplane VGA modes are totally unsupported.
Many DOS7 extensions are missing.
