An interesting question, one I'd also like to know the answer to.  I was
playing with a game under Wine the other day, to see if I could get it to
run since it's been a long time since the last time I tried it, and it
apparently tries to spawn a web browser in the process.  Of course, this
failed, because I don't have any Win32 browsers on this machine...
