Calling it a "reversed wine" doesn't do the wine project enough justice who had to reimplement tons of windows libraries from scratch and without being able to see the source ever. This solution does not need to reimplement any library functions, as they can take everything from the unpacked Ubuntu rootfs and then "just" need to handle the Linux systemcalls correctly. cheers, josch
