Yup, that's what I mean. Some of the games are supported by upstream
only for Windows, at least a big amount of mine (including Kenta
Cho's, for example), so effectively that part of the code is on us,
even though we might send the patches upstream.
Apart of that, of course, where there is an active upstream, we should
tell them.
We go for it and support that spec?
