Re: [PATCH] powrprof.dll stub

Well, sure, here we go, trying to be helpful. I pay Transgaming the 
subscription for all the years, begging for the only game I tend to play 
- Planetside. After more than two years I find out, that the only reason 
the game does not start is one stupid call to powrprof.dll. Simple stub 
is all that's needed.

Is Transgaming going to provide one? Like 3 minutes of work for 
experienced wine hacker? No, Transgaming is going to waste everyone's 
time demanding licence change for - let me scream that - EMPTY DLL.

Well, that's it for me. I'll better stop now, winex-devel is probably 
not the right place for flaming. I really wish TG to succeed, but for 
me, this was the last drop. GL, HF.
