Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS official compatibility target and the new build system

Doesn't windows use SxS to provide multiple versions of some dlls? I know
its not for exacly the same purpose but perhaps coupled with some sort of
app compat wizard we could really set hard version targets... but ofcourse
it would mean building many dlls more than once

what about just try to make a Windows XP (the most widely desktop OS used
nowadays) clone?
this discussion can only be finished in a bad way for ReactOS IMO....

With the approach I described above (wrapper dlls) you would compile the
code once and only a number of wrapper dlls that forward the exports
would be linked several times. It also saves disk space.
