I feel sorry for the WINE folks.  When they started, making a free windows
emulator kinda made sense.  Now they are 90% through (time for them to get
started on the other 90% :) and Windows 3.1 has been superceded, and a
fair few core Windows apps are being brought out commercially for
Linux/Unix.  I wonder if they've thought about rationalising the project
and cutting it before it becomes another Concorde.
