Much of the code could be used in both projects, so
perhaps someday
we could have three projects:
+ native kernel (reactos)
+ subsystem/emulation (wine)
+ userland applications
Yes, IMO this would be the ideal solution!
The current situation where we port/borrow/fork code from wine is really
bad. Much work is done twice. The ideal solution would be to work with
the Wine project (where possible) instead of forking it into ros.
Keeping shell32 in synch seem to work well thou, but most shared
components are not synched.
My dream is to move/merge most of ros umode stuff into Wine. This
includes everything inside the ros\lib source tree. Differences between
ros and wine would be put into libraries, create a ntoskrnl.dll and
win32k.dll wrapper for wine etc.
