Very good point. This is another angle I wanted to approach:
we are currently perceived by some as a 'evil thing' which
allows MS-stuff to creep into Linux.

We should make it clear that Wine is:

1) a PE loader
  This is good! PE is a valid format, just like ELF.
  There are advantages to have it supported in Linux.

2) A (large) toolkit/lib/etc.
  There, we are in the same bucket as Lesstif, Qt, GTK, etc.

We are a Unix thing as much as all the other cherished libs.
