General script for installing Wine build dependencies

I can see where this would be useful for building on some platforms, but
doesn't "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" work fine (for the most part) for
Ubuntu?

The last time I compiled on a fresh *buntu, I recall using build-dep and
then having to install one nvidia-specific '-dev' package to get DirectX
support working. I think it was nvidia-glx-177-dev; Until it added some
headers or whatnot, ./configure insisted it was going to build without
DirectX.

As far as specific tweaks: on Intrepid Ibex I don't believe x-dev or
qt3-dev-tools are required. X-dev's a transitional package only
dependent on x11proto-core-dev, which is already in your list. I don't
have qt3-dev-tools installed (and everything compiles/runs clean).
