Yes it is a bit of a FAQ, and the answers have mostly been along the 
lines of "just use Winelib for non-Intel machines".  Now it can be "... 
and checkout the Darwine BOF".

Thanks for the links!

Supposedly Mac OS X already has the largest installed base of any single 
*nix distribution and certainly is ahead of Linux on the desktop.  So 
there are easily as many potential users of Wine for Mac OS X as Wine 
for X86-whatever.  And Virtual PC has been popular & successful.

Yep, keeping things in sync will be important.  In checking out Winehq 
distrbution, I see that updates revolve arond the monthly tarballs.  So 
that's where we'll start and try to keep up-to-date with that.

Thanks for the encouragment!
