Actually there's an even more fundamental problem - Wine
requires an X server and a $HOME directory to function, and
for those reasons I never managed to get it to run under
Koji (even using Xvfb).

I'm guessing this is a bootstrapping problem - ie. the Smalltalk
compiler/runtime is written in Smalltalk, so must be compiled
using Smalltalk.

We have other packages like this (certainly mingw32-ocaml, possibly
our Tcl package too).  The standard solution is to BuildRequire
the *native* package, and use that to run the bits that need to
be run during the build.

With OCaml this was especially complex, but that's what we did.
