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.)
