[Wine] Running XP programs in wine

[A. Tres Finocchiaro]

There are licensing issues with using Microsoft files, so I would recommend
against it.

Some dlls are available through 3rd party resources, some are available
through Microsoft with packages, and some are reverse engineered by the Wine
group.

There are also some non-free applications such as Cedega and
CrossOver-Office that supply needed DLLs.
