I agree with you.  This particular bunch of code was written some  
years back as a Windows service by programmers who have long since  
left my client's company.  My client wants the app moved as quickly as  
possible, without re-writing from scratch.

I have had a several of these projects in the past few years, and have  
built up a bunch of compatibility routines as a result.  Yes, Wine  
does provide a couple of routines, but there is a whole lot missing,  
like MS-XML and SQL Server compatibility.  I also prefer to link a  
small library to my code when I need Winsock and RRAS compatibility  
rather than linking the entire Wine lib.

Anyway, looks like no-one here is interetsed, so I'll shelve it.
