So what's the consensus here? What is the preferred method for Distros that
don't even provide the package? An official statement for end users that want
to use Wine-Mono (for whatever reasons) from Wine-Mono maintainers would be
helpful. Does libgluezilla/Gecko backend still have a future?

$ wine --version
wine-4.6-111-g0664b062c6
