Loading Linux plugins on Windows hosts through Wine.
Because a half-step is better than no step.
To be more clear... it's hard to leave FL behind but don't really want to dual-boot or starting relying on Windows plugins.
Its possible to do plugins such that:
- Windows host loads a small shim
- shim loads Linux plugin
- do some little odd XEmbed things to get UIs on Windows host side too
I might make this a "use it if you want, no support whatsoever" project, because Wine breaks too often... 🤔
