Thanks for comments.
I am still working on winexe, for now I publish code on 
http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/.
If people on this list are interested I can send info about progress, or 
even post patches.

Of course I agree about style and others ( I need to find out how to 
make prototypes auto generated).
Many things I will correct by myself, but for many I need advice, I hope 
to find it on this list.

About compiling windows code - I have never used MSVC to compile it, at 
the beginning I've used Cygwin,
but now I compile everything in Linux. Of course I have installed 
crosscompiler, below list of rpm packages (PLD distro):
crossmingw32-gcc-c++-3.4.3-4
crossmingw32-runtime-3.7-1
crossmingw32-gcc-3.4.3-4
crossmingw32-w32api-3.2-1
crossmingw32-binutils-2.15.94.0.2-1
So this is some dependency, but not such big as MSVC :)

And about integrating it with samba - it would be nice, we can work on it :)
