My guess is that it aims to be a "reverse WINE" by implementing the GNOME and KDE library using Windows API, but for the moment they didn't get the time to do so and thus create a "LINA library" which they can quickly implement both in the Linux side and the Windows side. Of course they need a Linux API as well, but that is probably mostly done just using Cygwin.
