Since OS X does not provide some of the libraries that we need, should
we have a dependency build script that installs those libraries to a
standard location (so the users don't need to install MacPorts of Fink
just to get Wine) or should we ask them to go mucking with the
~/.bashrc? If we want to provide a Winehq support Wine package for OS
X we have to decide on a configuration that will work and be the least
invasive to the users when they go to install.
