I have a stripped down version of the patch that doesn't require any configure 
changes and should apply fine to the latest wine. It's designed for systems 
that have RLIMIT_RTPRIO (Linux kernel 2.6.13 and up) and works as long as the 
user can set real-time priority for processes (an updated/modified PAM can 
set such permissions for users; realtime-lsm may work too, but I don't have 
any experience with it). Running as root/suid with this is NOT recommended as 
it makes no provisions for it.. it doesn't attempt to drop permissions, so 
whatever you run Wine as, the whole program will have the same permissions.
