Something that I do have to point out is that freetype, a very important
library for Wine is not shipped with XCode nor MacOSX.  We have to
include it.  Both MacPorts and Fink's builds make this a dependency and
force you to install it.  Fortunately, Fink puts it in a place where
installing other software with freetype (and the other libraries
required for Wine) do not interfere with each other.

Right now, a 'vanilla' build of Wine using just Wine code on MacOSX is
not possible.  There are dependencies, just like there are on Linux. 
The X11SDK is not installed and that is just a start...

And Mike's builds are LGPL, just like Wine's.
