The Codeweavers guys are doing some awesome work, and yeah, I always
recommend that people use one of the commercially backed versions of
WINE atm. The way it works (AFAIK) is that Codeweavers keep their own
tree, and work on that in order to get support for the apps they've got

Yeah, totally. I see WINE as a very important piece of software, and
it's always good to get more people using it.
