Hi Rosanne,

Basically, I think that whatever information ./configure has would be helpful
to the person trying to evaluate the error messages.  I like the idea of "no
supported 32 bit ...".  (I did have the 64 bit alsa drive installed.)  If you
have additional OS specific information, that would also be good, such as what
you are looking for on what OS.

So, I guess what I am after is a more rational messages to help the next poor
sod that tries to ./configure Wine.

And yes, I got the error message whilst listen to music.  A=B, unless it is
Tuesday, then A=C, unless the moon is overhead, then A=D, or its is leap year
and a herd of wildebeest ...  You get the point.  One shouldn't have to rely on
the charity of others to ./configure the thing.  And I do know that is a large
task to ask.  Chipping away at it is the best way to do it on my opinion.

And I do realize that "the software is never finished".  Been there done that
too.

On the bright side, I am enjoying all the bug fixes in 1.7.30 (over 1.6.1). 
Thank you guys!
