Sure. It'd be nice to file a new bug for it.

Those are probably the only really important ones, yes.

apt at least has a command to install all build-time dependencies of a package,
and probably other distributions do as well, though I think it'll end up
installing much more than that that's not really necessary.

One of the things high on my to-do list is to improve our instructions for
building Wine, to make it clearer what dependencies are needed and what for.

I would guess that's because you were missing libsdl-dev when compiling ;-)

No, I guess it was just never added. I don't know why that would be the case.

Anti-cheat and anti-tamper systems generally need this; most programs don't.
It's not in upstream Wine yet because the patches that exist for it do it in
what is presumably a somewhat distasteful way. In Wine correctness is necessary
for all patches to be submitted, but for CrossOver I can only imagine that
making applications run would be more important.
