The problem is wine does not accpect some patch
That is usually for technical reasons (like the extra header includes
proposed by Thomas that were needed because of the ReactOS exception
handlers).

Then you find a way of minimizing the scope of the patch, e.g. by
putting ReactOS only functionality in another file and adding a line or
two to hook into this file. We also try to do the same in Wine, e.g. for
the Shell UnixFS.
and some other is for both windows and reactos but it
will
break wine.
Then you could try to fix the problem, or else describe the problem
enough so that a Wine developer can fix it. For instance, GvG proposed
that we change the way statuses are defined in our Wine to be compatible
with ReactOS and the Platform SDK by causing a compile failure when
including both winnt.h and ntstatus.h.
Sweeping problems under the carpet, especially without understanding why
they are happening doesn't improve either project.
