I will prepare my patch tommorow. Should I sent it to wine-devel or wine-patches to discuss it?
wine-patches.
I would like to give the users just the basic knowledge THAT it is possible to use native DLLs and fonts. For detailled Information I would redirect them to the User Guide.
Well you can say "If you have a native Windows installation, you can use some of its native components with Wine. For details..."
I ask you again to tell me if a update of the README is not really wanted at all this time, I would have no problem with this (plenty other tasks to do). :-)
Not sure if it's needed, I haven't reviewed it lately.
