Public X11 fork

as it seems a major concern to lots of people, I think it's 
time to really start the public X11 fork we've talked about

as previously stated, this fork shall start on the
wine-20020228 snapshot and shall be kept under the OLD
wine license. it doesn't seem a good idea to add an anti-xGPL
clause

there are however a few points to iron out:
- hosting: it can be made at sourceforge, but, as Gav said at
  his WineConf speech, it may be a good idea to host it on
  winehq too. if so, the difference between the two projects
  has to be made clear
- name: a name has to be found (especially if hosted at
  sourceforge).
  Several proposals have been made, but no conclusion. As a 
  recap:
	Theleme (from the Rabelaisian abbey...)
	OpenWine
	WineM
  after some thinking, I can add to the list
	OpenWith
	Ween (yeah, I had to look up in the Webster for this 
              one)
  So, to come to a clear decision, I give all of the 
  interested people a two day period to speak out their minds,
  the we'll draw the conclusion
- how to handle patches for both trees. There will different MLs
  for the X11 fork (at least one for the patches). I'd propose
  that it's up to the writer of the patch to sent his patch to
  the right ML. Of course, since trees may diverge, it's up to
  him to submit compatible with the underlying tree.

feel free to add any other comment.
