 Ah! But you are doing your magic _in the kernel_. I don't have this luxury :)
 I have to do everything in user space (as a normal user) on an out-of-the-box
 FreeBSD (-stable).

just to note things... actually you have the luxury. we have made special hacks
to let wine works well (thr_kill2) I see no reason why special support for 
wine64
in kernel would be left out.

just my 2 cents

 Over the past few weeks, a group of have been plugging away in relative 
 obscurity to fix the world .. or, at least, the world as revolves around 
 WINE. 
 We have a few kernel hackers involved, some members of the wine group, some 
 members of PC-BSD, and at least one DragonflyBSD developer ... a truly 
 rounded 
 group.

just a big THANK YOU! you are incredible

thnx!
