Thanks Ivan.

I have the wine-20040505 tarball and have compiled it.  Before compiling
I applied the wine-20040505-execshield patch.  Now a few questions:

1. Should I have done that? 
2. Should I have applied the other patches?
3. Where is all this documented, so I don't have to hassle you? :-)

Thanks in advance,

John
