Building wine 1.9.20

[Bronze Alibi]

Thank you so much!  

While I would love to have this tool, I think it would do the community a
greater service if you open sourced that for the whole wine developer
community to benefit from.

commit, then commit them into a separate Git repository, so that for a
bisection test, you only binary search the pre-built binaries and run them
directly, no building source (ie. bisect-run-bisect-run, no building).

of Wine often don't build. What I've had to do is "reverse regression test"
for the build regressions
(<https://wiki.winehq.org/Reverse_Regression_Testing>) and then backport those
commits to older versions. So far I can get Wine to compile as far back as 5
February 2014, which was just before version 1.7.12. Sadly the build system
was completely rewritten in January 2014, making many of the commits unable to
backport further; I would like to get back to 2008. On my previous attempt I
succeeded in building all (buildable) binary versions from Wine 1.0 in June
2008, to October 2011, about 35000 binary versions in total, and successfully
used it for rapid regression testing in that timeframe.

(some of which are for FreeBSD) is as follows, in the order they have to be
applied. Note that you only apply commits that come AFTER the commit you're
building, not the ones from before (ie. "git rev-list --max-count=1
HEAD..<commit>" produces some output instead of silently exiting). My
tool also automates that.

As that was also an older version of the application it is not clear weather a
change in wine or a change in the application broke support, so I want to run
the current version on wine 1.9.20.
