And this is the most exciting part! Right now it is still a PITA to run 32-bit programs on modern 64-bit machines: one must either use pre-built Wine 32-bit package or build one herself. This is a big step to get rid of these dances, but we're not quite there yet, quoting release notes: WoW64 thunks are implemented for most Unix libraries, enabling a 32-bit PE module to call a 64-bit Unix library. Once the remaining modules are converted to PE, this will make it possible to run 32-bit applications without installing 32-bit Unix libraries. ./danfe
