+Summary: Mono not loading Wine shared objects for System.Windows.Forms.
+
+Mono (as of 15 nov 2002), cannot load Wine shared objects located 
+in /usr/lib/wine because none them use the "lib" prefix.  Those objects 
+are actually standard ld.so libraries because symlinking them with 
+correctly named library in /usr/lib is sucessful.
+
+Ex: ln -s /usr/lib/user32.dll.so /usr/lib/libuser32.dll.so
+
+User32.dll will then be sucessfully loaded.
+
+It would be nice if Mono could handle the environment variable WINEDLLPATH 
+and load Wine's DLL.  This would make things much easier for future user 
+of Mono's System.Windows.Forms class library because most package don't 
+symlink Wine libs to /usr/lib because Wine can handle the libs 
+in /usr/lib/wine correctly.
+
+I tried to dig in the runtime but couldn't find the right place in the 
+code to change this so I just thought filling a bug for that was the best 
+thing to do.
