[wine-devel] Troubles configuring and building wine-1.5.30 on Debian wheezy

If you don't care about building anything 64 bit installing
pkg-config:i386 while removing pkg-config:amd64 allows for
libfreetype6-dev:i386 and libfontconfig1-dev:i386 to be installed
without playing with symlinks. (Though maybe 64 bit building stuff still
works after this? )
