Majority of developers work on Wine itself and for them we could provide 
pre-built static libs and/or they would just build them once in a while, 
install and have multiple Wine builds use them.

Full bootstrap would indeed require 3-step process and it's probably 
what you'd want when working on dependencies themselves. But we could 
make 'wine-addons' build system optionally take care of building both 
addons and Wine itself, which could hide that in in a single make 
invocation.

That said, if we can make it work nice inside Wine itself, I'm not 
against it. I just fear that it won't be pretty...
