Well, that may be true, but I, at least, certainly won't do that, for a couple of reasons: o licensing: Have you checked all the details on the WineX site? o portability: I'm already spending a significant amount of time keeping Wine compiling on FreeBSD (though most of this happens upstream, so it may not be not very visible), and I'd expect WineX to be at least as bad and very Linux-centric, not the least because they cannot take all those portability patches from Wine for license reasons.
