I asked Alexandre Julliard, the maintainer of the Wine

libfst approach, and thought this list might be interested in his response.

First message (nov 8) when asked for a read on the libfst design he said,
"They have a wineserver and everything, they just bypass the preloader and
initial setup. It's a variant of the Mono patch. It should work OK as long
as both the host Linux app and the Windows DLL are well-behaved and don't
depend on things like memory layout, switching stacks, signals, starting
Linux threads, etc."
The problem is that this is wrong. Alexandre is remembering stuff from
long, long ago.
the FST approach now involves absolutely no wine hacks at all.
