No, there is no "tools" directory, because you have downloaded a 
precompiled binary for Slackware 10, rather than the source files, which 
would be compiled and installed in the way the readme describes.

If you are in fact running Slack 10, use your package manager to install 
the *.tgz normally.

If you are not running Slack 10, then download the correct binary for 
your distribution, or download the source tarball and compile Wine, if 
you would like to do that instead.

Hope this helps.
