What Corel are working on is WineLib - which acts as the source-compatible
version of Windows. It will allow Corel to compile their Windows applications
on Linux with minimal #ifdef'ing, and produce a native Linux application. There
won't be wrapper scripts or any such things, it will come statically linked
to WineLib (which is allowed because the Wine License is similar to the BSD
license).
