1. Winux

I've almost finished this project. (It was inspired by the conversion about
porting win32lib to Linux via Wine, a little while back.)

Winux, has 2 parts. One part is a windows program that runs under Wine (so
you need that to use this), the other is a Linux include file that interfaces
to the Wine program via a port on interface 127.0.0.1

Theoreticly, this program allows easy porting of any win32 program to Linux,
as it exposes a Windows API to the programs. (The one emulated by Wine,
obviously.)

Eventually, I'll rewrite the Linux part in C, to make it more portable (I'll
leave the Windows side in Euphoria tho, I don't see a need to rewrite it),
for now both parts are in Euphoria.

Pretty soon, I'll make this available on the web. Do I have any volenteers to
test it then? (They'll need Linux (FreeBSD might work tho) and Wine, as well
as a copy of exw.exe.)

2. Re: Winux

Ok, I got it finished, but not working atm. :/ Seems to be an error
connecting to the server, not sure why.

Also, I'm going to make some major changes to the Winux API, which is why
I'm not releasing it right now as I've said. However, as soon as I've done
these changes I'll release it on my web site. (Since fptr.e isn't that
stable or usable yet, I'm putting in define_c_func instead, as well as
c_func, as opposed to GetProcAddress and call_stdcall.)
