Doesn't the "clean room" method actually require someone who has *no*
knowledge of the API (from Microsoft-derived sources) to do the work? I'd
think finding such people who would volunteer their time for this effort
would be difficult. That means it would have to be bankrolled by some company
or university, who would surely be sued by Microsoft anyway...
The AJPO was probably our last, best hope for making this happen.
