Someone needs to inform the (unidentified) maintainer of Blastwave wine that he is violating Wine's GPL license by not providing the Wine source code used to build the binaries he offers for download. Offering patches against some old Wine source code which is (or is not) available from some other site is not sufficient to satisfy GPL. If this is not fixed soon, then Blastwave should simply remove the 'wine' section since surely Blastwave does not want to intentionally violate open source licenses. This section is quite an embarrassment to Blastwave and casts a shadow on the entire project. I noticed this deficiency a while back when I wanted to build Wine on Solaris. It made me rather angry since the source code the patches are supposed to apply to is very old and difficult (if not impossible) to find.
