I think what Dimi was talking about was sending the PuTTY team patches so they could offer a Linux version on their download site, rather than actually supplying it with Wine.
A couple of questions - if a program uses Winelib, is it all statically linked or do you still need a wine installation for it to work. Also, if they ship a Winelib version of the app, do they still use the Wine button on their site or is that just for apps that work under the PE loader?
