Programming With WineLib

c/c++ users journal has an article about porting windows applications to Linux using
Winelib. The article is a good tutorial on how to obtain winelib and how to use such things as the winebuild and the winemaker tool."
Its only usefully for porting software. You can create links and icons for each of your software - this works but takes some setup on your part. Or alternatively you can use vmware. (Win4Lin doesn't support DirectX very well). I haven't played with WineX - but that may also be a solution.
