Yesterday I was playing around with the test suite in HEAD when I moved onto kernel32.
It was, without wanting to sound too harsh, a bit of a disgrace, with large failures throughout the whole test range.
I suggest a hacking day on it using the test suite, a joint effort to bring this core lib back into line. Perhaps with some emphasis on trying to make it fun.
Whoever gets the most fixes is crowned 'king ding-a-ling' and holds the title until the next one, opening the road up to days on ntdll, user32, gdi32 and crt?

Fully supported, the only thing is to keep hacks away, as usual. Also, everyone is invited aka patches are accepted.
WBR, Aleksey.

As pointed out by Wax, ntdll is also in a pretty bad way, so it's better to start there and move onto kernel32 next.
