This patch wouldn't apply cleanly to 20011004 source code.  I had to apply 
it by hand and generate a new patch (attached).

With the aid of this patch, Wine starts, and tried to run the target
executable.  In this case, d:\install.exe is the installer for Diablo I;
the startup sound played, but no installer window was created.  Wine
produced the following messages:

babylon5:alaric:~:1 $ wine --debugmsg fixme-font d:\\install.exe
Building font metrics. This may take some time...
fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Your keyboard layout was not 
found!
Using closest match instead (United States keyboard layout) for scancode 
mapping.
Please define your layout in windows/x11drv/keyboard.c and submit them
to us for inclusion into future Wine releases.
See the Wine User Guide, chapter "Keyboard" for more information.
err:mmsys:MMDRV_InitHardcoded You didn't setup properly the config file 
for the Wine multimedia modules.
Will use the hard-coded setup, but this will disappear soon.
Please add a WinMM section to your Wine config file.

Why it can't find my keyboard I don't know, I'm using a first-version
Microsoft ergonomic keyboard that should appear as a regular US keyboard.  
(I'd replace it with Logitech's ergonomic keyboard, if the Logitech wasn't
wireless.)  I do, however, have the useless and annoying capslock key
remapped to a second LShift using xmodmap, and the menu key remapped to
Compose-character.  Could this perhaps be confusing Wine about the 
keyboard?


More importantly, there is the err:mmsys:MMDRV_InitHardcoded error.  
I've looked on winehq.org for documentation of what needs to be in the 
WinMM section, but so far I haven't found anything.  Can anyone point me 
at where this section is documented?  I'm presuming it tells wine what 
audio drivers and devices to use.
