[Mono-winforms-list] Let me get this right...

[Simon Ask Ulsnes]

Wouldn't it be possible to write a SWF library built on Gtk# that linked to
certain parts of WineLib, just as it is done in a real Windows environment?
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")] public static and so on would just load Wine's
version of kernel32.dll in stead of the original Windows DLL, thus providing
just about the same functionality. Or have I misunderstood something?

Yours sincerely,
Simon Ask Ulsnes, Denmark
