It *is* the special Wine edition, but it's only today that I found some
time to bring it up to date.  Essential changes:

 - update gcc to 3.4.1-20040711-1
 - remove dxguids patch to w32api
 - add mlang uuids patch to w32api
 - update mingw-runtime to 3.3
 - remove 2 patches to runtime accepted upstream

I was able to cross compile all Wine tests in current CVS. Find it here:

That's a good idea, though it's linked to already from here:

  http://winehq.org/site/docs/wine-devel/cross-compiling-tests

Yes I have thought about that too. Advantage is that Wine tests are more
likely to compile and link. Disadvantage is that Wine get's less testing with
3rd party headers and/or import libraries. Maybe I should do a mingw-w32api 
*and* a wine-w32api rpm package...
