I just installed wine1.2 on my 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 system, and it seems
to run existing winboard.exe files without any problems I could detect:
it shows the Startup Dialog, and when I tick "Just view or edit games",
I can play moves with the mouse, the position context menu appears
when I right-click in Edit Position mode, I can open and close dialogs
and auxiliary windows. A minor thing is that when I raise WinBoard to the
foreground by clicking its Icon in the Linux task bar, it raises the
board window, but any open auxiliary windows remain in the background.
I would have to close and re-open these through the menus to see them
again. But is seems good enough to test if it can be built.

I think that should work, but I haven't tried running WinBoard in wine
for ages, and I don't think I ever tried cross-compiling for mingw
from Linux.
