Wine pulled from Git.

I have no clue how Git works.  Did a 'git | grep -E "^  " | wc -w' and
found that there are 108 standard commands.  Gave up when I saw that
:-).

But it seems to automatically switch to whatever the newest tag
designated by AJ is (instead of using HEAD), so that would mean that
it's a home-compiled v0.9.10.

Ah, thanks!

Same here, although the parent 'wine' directory does exist.

Aye?

Ok, I think I get the gist of it, thanks :-).

But still, it says:
"/usr/local/bin/../lib/../share/wine/fonts/"

Which is odd, because besides from going to the parent directory of
the 'wine' binary (bin/..) and then descending into 'lib'...... it
then goes one level up *again* before descending into 'share'.  Could
be a bug?

Of course, Dmitry again.  *Sighs*
