I couldn't find Dale Rahn's patch, so I created my own from the NetBSD
sources.  It will only help for i386, but it shouldn't break the other
platforms, and it's much cleaner than what I found in your CVS:

I've put up a rewind port at
http://cleannorth.org/~odin/openbsd-ports/port-rewind-20030823.tgz

It does not have the same issues, but it has one of its own:

odin@sleipnir:p4[~/.wine/c/windows]$ wine Sol.exe
err:module:BUILTIN32_LoadLibraryExA loaded .so but dll ntdll.dll still not found - library environment problem or version conflict, check your setup.
err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) ntdll.dll (which is needed by wine) not found

I'm not out of ideas yet trying to fix this, but if anyone has some hints
that speed up the process, it would be appreciated.

Also, be warned that at some point in the install, rewind likes to screw
over the shared library cache and you'll need to re-run ldconfig.
Obviously, I'll need to fix this before it can be a real port, but for now
the real showstopper is dlls not registering themselves.

Thanks in advance for any insight/Have fun playing with this!
