    Wine was probably removed from Red Hat 9 because it is incompatible with the new threading library (NPTL or whatever it's called). The Wine people have now come up with a workaround, but a real 'port' to the new thread system isn't done yet.

    Well, WineX didn't do it alone. The majority of the infrastructure is based on WINE so they deserve as much credit for WineX being where it is. WineX did add copy protection support and some impressive performance improvements in the rendering code. WineX does contribute back to the WINE project so they do do the respectable thing.
