* I restructured open issue wine to show that wine mostly works.

* I added a current status to the physical memory management wiki page.

+    <Andre_H> Wanted to note that
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/open_issues/wine.html is wrong about
+      socket credentials, afaik they are still not implemented but that doesn't
+      block Wine anymore
+    <Andre_H> In fact all you need to run Wine are the patches followed by
+      https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/101439 (not yet upstream) or see
+      http://wiki.winehq.org/Hurd
 
-    < arethusa> my question is, when trying to launch Wine, I'm seeing "wine
-      client error:0: sendmsg: (os/kern) invalid address" from the client side,
-      whereas the wineserver seems to be starting and running correctly, how
-      could I debug this issue further? using rpctrace doesn't seem to help, as
-      the trace just hangs when run on the Wine loader instead of yielding
-      insight
-    < kilobug> arethusa: isn't there a wine debuguer that can start a gdb when
-      wine encounters an error or something like that ?
-    < arethusa> it's too early for that
-    < kilobug> or least give you a full traceback of the wine code where the
-      error occur ?
-    < arethusa> the error is happening during initial connect to the
-      wineserver, in dlls/ntdll/server.c
-    < arethusa> but that doesn't help me figure out why sendmsg would error out
-      in this way

-    < azeem_> arethusa: probably some of the msghdr entries are not supported
-      by the Hurd's glib
-    < azeem_> c
-    < pinotree> haha, socket credentials, which we don't support yet
-    < azeem_> yep
-    < pinotree> youpi: ↑ another case ;)
-    < azeem_> arethusa: just implement those and it should work
-    < kilobug> in pflocal ? or glibc ?
-    < pinotree> pflocal
-    < arethusa> azeem_: hmm, okay, thanks
-    < pinotree> arethusa: their lack is a known issue, and makes things like
-      dbus and gamin not work
-    < arethusa> it's
