Thanks, I used this to compile wine 1.1.21 for testing purposes this
week. I had to update the scripts a bit (e.g. use newere versions of
some libraries and tools because the old ones are offline). I can post
a patch against the old script. Further don't ship the opengl hack
anymore for new wine packages as you are aware it isn't needed for
xquartz 2.3.3 anymore. Everyone should move to the latest xquartz.
This might prevent some opengl bug reports which I have to close on
bugzilla as well ;)
