This was the Scripted build link on the Building MacOSX Wine Wiki page 
and the entire Wiki entry on this can be reached through

I HIGHLY recommend, as does doh123, rwoodshall and others that you 
install the LATEST version of XQuartz to get full Wine functionality.  
Apple's X11 does not have complete functionality and causes many problems.

For instance, I cannot run the installer for Quake II on my Mac with 
Apple's X11, at ALL.  With XQuartz, I can run it full screen or windowed.
