There is the very tiniest skeleton of inkobj.dll which unfortunately
is no where near enough to even let an ms ink program run let alone do
handwriting recognition.  Also I'm unsure of how doable it is to run
.Net apps in wine yet.

wintab32 works alright though, so perhaps you would be able to write a
wintab app which integrated with one of the open source handwriting
recognition programs (ocropus and others ill try and dig up the links
later if you are interested).
