I've got one for 'ya: KazaaLite. Used to be the instructions in the
appdb (which specified a few "dll"="native"'s and a couple of
"dll"="builtin"'s) worked; nowadays, everyone's attempts seem to result
in some manner of failure.
Lots of wine users seem to want KazaaLite ;)

P.S.: an interesting OT tidbit: A friend of mine recently said he didn't
want to use Kazaa because they were charging $2/mo. No idea if his
understanding was correct (he's not a techie, fwiw), but it's
interesting that he got that impression, either way.
