Good news.  One possible "market" for this is in the Debian world
as currently the Linux Notes client will not install as it can not 
work out what version of Mozilla is installed.  IBM have never really
make any of their stuff easy to install on Debian.  Of course the
Debian sid wine will need to be brought up to date (currently .15) and
will need the two patches mentioned above included.
