Re:winelib - But why not get help?!?!?

[knitfoo]

You know, I'm genuinely curious about this: we've had MFC nailed for well over a year now, and very few people are ever willing to hire us to help them with the MFC part.
Winemaker does a lot of the work - and is free.
The fact that Winelib is capable of as much as it is now is almost all due to our work - and is free.
We can help you get MFC working quickly and easily, and, okay, that parts not free (we have to eat somehow), but it's not that expensive. We've done it a lot, and we can genuinely save you time and hassle. It's like hiring a plumber instead of learning how to sweat pipes yourself.

Why do so few people ask us for help?

Is it because it's mostly the developers trying this, who have no budget? Or am I missing something else?

Thanks for listening,
Jeremy White, CodeWeavers
