If you want a new one, it must be in the spec file.

Stub in the spec file will crash on addess 0xdeadbeef and generate a 
warning at startup. A stub in the code will potentially allow a program 
to continue operating.

look in tools/winebuild/README that should define everything.

If you'd like an easier way, then just bring over any of the X11 
licensed patches for this DLL by Juan Lang (see 
http://cvs.winehq.org/cvsweb/wine/dlls/iphlpapi/ but more importantly 
his actual patch submission). His name is on the master list of 
"everything I do is X11 licensed unless explictly indicated so" found at 
http://www.ping.uio.no/~ovehk/rewind/contrib-list.cgi. The best thing to 
do it to generate a patch for ReWind first and then get it committed 
there. It may be that it requires extra functionality, as would 
presumably Cedega, to get it going.
