Please take this request seriously. Even if Squeeze is frozen,
distributing the same version (1.0.x) of Wine as Lenny does not look
good! People are trying to help out!

I wouldn't hold much hope. These are the options:

1. Get wine-gecko built on Debian. Apparently gcc-mingw32 4.4.4 did
not solve all the problems with it, gcc-mingw32 would apparently
have to be upgraded all the way to 4.5.0 to build a fully working
package. Not sure if the release team will accept that, and even if
they did, packaging Wine 1.2 for squeeze will, by now, be a rush job
that may result in a package with serious problems.

Have you had a chance to take a look at my packages?  I took the time
to separate each patch out so that you'd be able to integrate them
into your git tree without to much trouble.

I'll take a look when the time comes. Until gcc-mingw32 is updated, there's not much that can be done anyway.

Note that I already did some preliminary work a while ago (including a complete wine-gecko package, just waiting for a working compiler), and have had some long-term plans for the Wine package itself, and probably not in the direction you might expect or have worked on. So I might not have use for such patches, but we'll see when it finally becomes possible to update Wine.

For now, I suggest working on a working gcc-mingw32, if anything.

Note that building wine-gecko also requires an updated version of
mingw-w64 (used to produce an updated replacement for
mingw32-runtime).

My own wine-gecko package does not need this. (Though if mingw32-runtime were to be updated, its build system could be simplified a bit, I guess.)
