I'm not entirely clear on the difference between Wine and Crossover Games in 
this case.

However, my understanding is Transgaming has been rather negligent in holding 
up their promise to kick patches back to the Wine project, as I understand 
it.  It's been a while since I've dealt with Transgaming at all; between that 
and their customer billing support being so poor, my time as a Cedega 
customer/user was very short lived to say the least.  I'm a little surprised 
to discover they're still around three years later; from dealing with 
Transgaming, I got the impression they were a fly-by-night operation.
