I know Johannes is currently attempting a manual sync with Wine's latest release, and I believe he has it building now.
Perhaps he can update us on the current situation?
However, I think Shell32 is going to become a problem. The implementation we are going to need in ros is more advanced that Wine actually need.
For example, the new explorer w3seek was working on uses some fancy trickery with some undocumented COM interfaces, as per the XP explorer.
I doubt Wine will be interested in taking patches for such features. Thomas, any thoughts on this?
I don't think it's worth considering a complete fork just yet, Wine's shell32 does still get quite a bit of attention, but I think we need to consider how to best approach these things.

Is it still planned to synchronize the shell32.dll with Wine's one?
Some months ago, some things were directly changed there and recently
Johannes added new features to this DLL.
As far as I know, these changes were not submitted to Wine.
I'm also not sure if Wine would be interested in some changes like the newly
added Properties dialogs. I don't think this is a feature they need to
implement, but we need it.
Creating DIFF files here and keeping them up to date can be a pain in the
ass, especially for these big changes.

Colin
