Discussions go to wine-devel. You can also send patches to wine-devel
if you want to discuss them.

If you are doing the kernel part too, why don't you pass the
interpreter as argv[0]?  That's the way binfmt_misc does it under
Linux, and it's a lot more useful since you can use anything you want
as interpreter, you are not limited to specially modified apps.
