[ros-kernel] suggestion, merge WINE and ReactOS MSVCRT

[Waldo Alvarez Cañizares - another buried alive]

Hi Jonathan:

This was disscussed once here. I think that the problem was that crtdll 
implements things differently and handles from one of them should not be 
functional in the other. If i can remember well the solution was to put 
some stubs in crtdll to the common functions in msvcrt. I think it was a 
good choice. You just can't simply remove one of the dlls because some 
programs still use crtdll and a lot use msvcrt (including the newer 
versions). For example in my system32 dir there are  msvcrt.dll, 
msvcr70.dll, msvcrt40.dll and msvcr71.dll (and I lack some versions). I 
have not digged inside all of 
them but I'm sure they all have common functions and different ones of 
course.

Best Regards
Waldo
