I believe he borrows from Wine. x86 is x86. There are differences between
ELF and Win32 binary formats, of  course, but once you fix that the

Read his web pages to read more information. Check out the source code if

  win32 codec:
     Wrapper to WIN32 codecs.
     Can handle DivX ;-), Intel Indeo 5.0, etc...

Please note also that "DivX ;-)" and DivX are not the same thing. DivX was
Circut City's pay-per-view alternative to DVD. "DivX ;-)" is a codec. See
