It would be nice but there is a bug in Solaris XLib that wine tickles so for 
the moment you need to use a third party XLib. Hence LD_OPTIONS must be set 
to serch /usr/X11R6/lib first.

configure does detect Xfree86 but Xsun gets used by default where both are 
present. This is a very common configuration. Since configure has strictly  
the correct default behaviour (aside from the fact it doesn't work) I wanted 
to override it in wineinstall rather than get autoconf to prefer Xfree86!  
Ultimately I am hoping Sun will follow my advice and fix their xlib. It could 
also be due to the threding implementation using _lwps which aren't 
guaranteed safe

Besides wineinstall already had a section to add os specifics I just automated 
mine and thought it'd be a useful addition.
