Of course, you will need wine installed. I wasn't clear in my response,
but I thought he refered to the fact that now we have to start Winelib
apps as:
   wine myapp.so

Ideally, we can just link it to a real executable, without all the
wrappers that we have now. Not that it would change much, you will
still need the DLLs, etc. but it would be a bit cleaner. Meanwhile,
if you use winegcc you are isolated from all these ugly details...
