[Wine] BiDi support

[Ramaddan]

Hi Dohan,

Try copy and pasting this instead. I noticed when if you click it adds
something else:
http://www.ar1ar.com/program/download.php?id=273

As for my locale, I use utf-8, but the email website I use it set to
something else.

I have no idea why they even have different Arabic version, as they seem
all the same to me when I use them,
at least the ones the one from the Middle East.

I just use the SA (Saudi Arabia) one, just because I don't really see any
difference.

I found an arabic site that mentioned a patch was needed for wine to add
character reordering for Arabic using an IBM released code,
and it seems to work, but the problem is, it was made for wine 9.x, and it
does not work for wine 1.x

I tried to look at the code, and there seems to be major differences in
some cases.

Is it possible to update this patch for 1.x?

The patch link is here:
http://code.google.com/p/raqm/source/browse/trunk/patches/wine_libicu_bidi_arabic-shaping.patch?r=20

Thanks
