Most Windows and STDLIB libraries that have functions that call on the 
Windows API are just using simple "wrapper" code that take and pass the 
parameters in a different way, sometimes with more or less parameters 
needed, and returning different values or data, etc.

WINE shouldn't wine about this at all.  :)  Ofcourse, the accuracy that 
WINE emulates Windows is all in how accurate it emulates the Windows API 
and how accurate all of the Win32 constants are.  If just one bit in one 
byte in thousands of Win32 constants is wrong, the entire Windows program 
could crash or not run.

I'm sure a lot of software vendors have taken the heat because of the 
growing pains of WINE, whatcha bet?
