Wine generates 'fixme' messages from routines that are skeletons or the
last coder knew were not complete. They are basically a method of
reminding people that Wine is still at the Alpha stage.

They may be platform specific but only rarely.

For a long time Wine would not run on OBSD as the way it worked required
ELF format executables, not supported by OBSD.

If you want to contribute to the project then feel free to do so, but do
remember that it already runs at around 1 million lines of C anmd some
parts are _very_ clever.
