[Wine] Window Scrolling on OSX

[Zach Drayer]

Nope, Darwine (my builds at least) are a straight compilation of  
Wine's sources; take a peek in /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/ 
Contents/ - everything that you get when compiling Wine goes in  
there.  On Intel Macs at least, the "Darwine" port basically refers to  
WineHelper.app (the app launcher that lets you double click on things  
exe/lnk/msi's and automatically run them) now.

Of course, Darwine for PPC has patches for QEMU and the like, but I've  
never touched those.

What you're talking about for a native Darwine has to do with writing  
a Quartz driver to run instead of X11.  It's still within Wine's realm  
of content (see http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/QuartzDriver for  
information on quartzdrv, or http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/ 
winequartzdrv.git for the latest sources).  Which is well beyond my  
coding abilities at the moment.
