Having it as a loadable module that is essentially private to PC-BSD
(though open source, of course) will lead to questions of why Wine works
in PC-BSD and not FreeBSD. That's fine if your intention is to create
a fork of FreeBSD, but I don't know if that's what you really want.

The thought of a KLD hadn't occured to me actually. We are very close to
releasing 1.4RC1 though, so it may be a bit to close to work that out at the
moment. Tijl would probably be the one to ask about that though, since he's the
one making all this come together :)
However we will ship with the sys source on our disk 2, patch included. We'll just have to ensure we let users know when they do a csup to re-apply the wine patches manually.

Even if you decide to only add this new functionality to FreeBSD 7.x,
that's fine with us. Our next release of PC-BSD will be our last based
on FreeBSD 6.x before moving to 7. We're committed to shipping with the
patch Tijl wrote, since the improvements to Wine with it are night and
day. Of course if you roll this into the tree, all the better since I
won't have to spend the next 6 months to a year reminding users that
when they update world, they have to apply the Wine patch first ;-)
Kris, I support the patch.
That said, have you toyed with implementing this as a kld that
you can ship with your code?
