Patches are greatly appreciated and should be submitted to the
Submitting a patch for inclusion in Wine is pretty simple.
Basically all you have to do is send the patch to the
wine-patches mailing list
(<ulink url="http://www.winehq.com/dev.shtml#ml">http://www.winehq.com/dev.shtml#ml</ulink>). Also see this page for
a description of what happens to submitted patches.
(<ulink url="http://www.winehq.com/dev.shtml#ml">http://www.winehq.com/dev.shtml#ml</>).
Still there are a couple of recommendations about the patch format
and all so it's best to read our page describing <ulink
url="http://www.winehq.com/site/sending_patches">how to submit
patches</>. This will also give you more details about the whole
process and in particular to what will happen to your patch once
submitted.

Kylix, the Linux version of Delphi, was ported to Linux using
Winelib. The IDE actually uses a combination of QT and Winelib
which would not have been possible to achieve using only Wine.
The generated applications however do not depend on Wine in
any way.
