What about compiling wine under cygwin ? well these guys have, and are planning to nest the two environments as many times as possible to see if wine can take the strain, and not without good reason: 'Having such virtualization environments run within each other is an important milestone in the lives of these projects, it is a remarkable technical feat that requires a great deal of maturity'.

    I agree. Wine Does Not Work (most of the time).
    In itself that is no disaster, but it becomes a
    disaster when other people think "Oh, I can
    do any Windows stuff with Wine".

    I think that this way Wine had done more
    harm than good to the cause of Open Source...
