[Lula] Making games with 'Penguin'

[Charles Wyble]

    Heh. I know all about emotional compatibility and the Wine team. . 
It has nothing to do with emotional compatibility. They suffer very very 
badly from not invented here syndrome
Take for example Outlook not working under wine. Why is that? Lack of 
RPC support. It could be done in around 6 months if they accepted the 
fact that there approach is fundamentally flawed and creates yet another 
incompatible RPC system. However they refuse to accept the fact, and 
think that implementing the DLL's will be enough. However there is a lot 
more involved. The FreeDCE project has done most of the work already. 
(Disclaimer I am a member of that project and am good friends with its 
leader  Luke Cassington).
We attempted to coordinate efforts with the Wine/Reactos teams and they 
looked at the work involved and decided it was better to proceed on 
there own. So instead of taking 6 months to get the job done, it will 
take years.
