So, let's see:
  1. Wine works on FreeBSD. In fact, we even provide binaries:
	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=77562
     As I hope you can see, the lastest release is there.

  2. None of the Wine developers run *BSD. As a result, you will end up
     having problems from time to time. We try to help fix them, but
     unless the *BSD people help out, they will not get fixed. So more
     patches and less bitching would be greatly appreciated.

  3. I hate to break it to you, but this is free software. I'm not sure
     what's common behaviour in the BSD camp, but here calling the developers
     liers will not result in instant help.
