[Wine] Ubuntu users, please upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy for Wine 0.9.60 and later

To prevent conflicts when upgrading to 8.04, older releases will no
longer be getting Wine updates.  Ubuntu Hardy will be released this
Thursday, and contains many fixes that also affect Wine, such as support
for some missing libraries in the 64 bit version.

By default, Ubuntu's update manager will disable third party
repositories on upgrade, which will leave you with the Wine included in
Ubuntu Hardy (a slightly patched 0.9.59).  If you wish to keep tracking
the latest release using the Ubuntu Wine repository, then after
upgrading please run:

sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list
-O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list

The website should have updated instructions soon.

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie
