Maybe, I do not know. I do not think winner.el was mentioned when we 
discussed this before.

After a quick look it seems to me they are not doing the same thing. 
winner.el looks more for redoing/undoing window configuration 
interactively (a nice thing).

winsav.el was written to save window configurations and inject them in 
frames or windows.

It looks like winner.el and winsav.el complement each other.
