Zhenya, patching source code which is going to compile is quite equivalent to
putting dlls that already works in the "patched way".

Firsty, try Wine-1.1.10, it was released some days ago.  

If newer bugs are still present, you could help Wine project by writing up
individual (atomic) bugs into a list and then doing regression test [10] for
every such bug (separately).  

Once you identify offending commit ID, search it up in the Bugzilla.  If that's
not a case, also try looking at the list of known Wine issues [11].  It may be
someone already has filed appropriate bugreport.  If it's not, file your own
one about the issue.

Repeat this for every symptom of regression you've noticed.  Thanks for looking
into a bug :)
