[cw-discuss] bottle in frontame

Since bottles appear to have files resembling the original windows  
executables (I assume they are actually open source attempts at  
cloning those executables and their function?) would there be any  
benefit to replacing those executeable files with the actual original  
windows files if you own them? Could you have a bottle that is really  
an instance of a legal windows install, thus eliminating the need to  
try to and replicate all the work of M$? Maybe I'm just unclear on  
the concept of a bottle - but a directory listing of the contents  
certainly seems the way I've described - perhaps I am seeing the same  
illusion that the bottled program is supposed to see?
