And for that you should probably start here:
http://www.codeweavers.com/support/docs/wine-user/compiling or
http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source

Once you know that your system is set up correctly to compile Wine,
start looking at patches...

This is probably a decent overview of the patch program:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_(Unix)

For instructions on applying a specific patch to the Wine sources this
might be helpful: (apply the relevant patch of course...)
http://www.wine-reviews.net/benchmarks/compile-wine-with-the-3dmark-patch.html

(Why isn't patching and compiling in the FAQ?)
