This suggestion will most likely get null'd as it has before but since there are still patches accepted by ReactOS developers from time to time, it would seem to make more since to me to just prepackage a winelib build or binary build of their cmd.exe somewhere.
No, I'd rather Wine be completely source-based. Binary blobs don't seem right, and as you know, we can't share ReactOS source code.
It's mostly feature complete and is derived from FreeDOS command.com and a large chunk of the development work on it was done by former CodeWeaver Eric Kohl.
For what it's worth, I've looked at the FreeDOS command.com, and its parser doesn't seem much better than what wine's cmd already has. http://freedos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freedos/freecom/trunk/shell/ I'm looking for something a little more solid.
Having a comprehensive test suite written for the scripting language makes sense
