  Note that WINE requires 32-bit support libraries installed *DURING THE
OS INSTALL* to run on a 64-bit system.  Apparently 32-bit support can be
added after the fact, but it's painful, and a re-install is a lot easier.
What I ended up doing was emerging qemu-kvm and installing a 32-bit
gentoo guest in that.  Then I installed WINE inside the 32-bit guest OS.
I run WINE and the one Windows app over ssh into X, so that individual
windows pop up looking native to my 64-bit desktop.
