And it should also be said that Wine is the "clean" tree
(Alexandre doesn't let any half-assed code in), while
Crossover uses an "expedient" tree (with a fair amount of code that really
isn't right, but happens to make a few key apps like MS Office work).

It's a good division, actually, with lots of cross-pollination.  The two trees
are kept well in sync.
