Now, _that_ may explain some Phobos unit tests :-)
I prefer Belgian beer myself, when writing unittests, but to each its own.

Ok, well let's say you fixed all these nagging little issues.  Where does this
stand feasibility-wise?

It's not something I'm going to actually try to do in the near future (I have
too
much on my plate), but I might do it eventually, or if someone else wants to do
it, it'd be a great way to give D a cross-platform GUI lib with a nice API.  I'm
just trying to feel out how feasible this is, whether anyone is willing to make
a
serious attempt at it, and whether winelib is mature enough to be taken
seriously
for near-term practical use.
