Wine has a lot of optional dependencies that give additional 
functionality when detected at build time, but are not essential for 
building. These things are difficult to catch. One has to watch the 
build process in detail, and I didn't have time for this recently. Wine 
also doesn't link to most of the required dylibs, but loads them by hand 
at runtime, so that you don't see them with otool, you only notice 
runtime crashes.

I built it as it is on the tracker, and it built OK. It seems to run OK, 
too. For one of the programs I tried it with, WinBUGS, it didn't work 
whereas the previous version worked, so there is some regression, but I 
think this shouldn't prevent it from being committed. There are, after 
all, lots of windows programs that do not work with wine. I won't even 
try to debug any of this, feeling already rather dirty from running 
things with names like notepad.exe on my Mac ;-)
