Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [mjansen] 71439: [APPHELP] Begin shimlib implementation. CORE-11329 Implement some macro's and functions that help when registering shims. These are all written in C, so that wine can use the shim ...

[Mark Jansen]

The initial idea was to send the apphelp.dll to wine (since some stuff is
also based on a wine fork),
and implement the shims on our end.
There was also some interest from the wine-staging guys in this concept,
so to make porting easier I did develop most of it in C.
If there is no interest in this anymore from wine-staging, then we can go
ahead and use c++ (and proper wchar_t usage),
but since we also use alot of their code, I thought it no more than fair
that they could also use some of ours.
