--with-nptl is no longer required and has been removed, at least, it
doesn't appear in my CVS/mainline copy. NPTL is now detected at runtime.

Corel decided that the Linux bandwagon was over, and ceased working on
Wine. They *did* release a copy of WordPerfect for Linux, however it was
felt by the team that they released it too early while it was still
highly unstable and buggy. Apparently a "1.1" version was made available
internally which was much improved, but it never officially saw the
light of day. 

That's all I know - it was before my time ;)
