I don't mind whether it's done in the generic sources or just in the FreeBSD port though.
I'd _very_ much prefer the former, for a couple of reasons: o Not all FreeBSD users use our ports collection, so both the Wine and FreeBSD projects risk getting bug reports if our sources diverge. o In fact even I, the maintainer of the FreeBSD port, mostly use pristine upstream sources to continually check current CVS versions of Wine (and keep them buildable on FreeBSD). o I worked very hard to decrease the number of local patches and keep the divergence minimal, and I have learned Alexandre as very interested in keep Wine portable. Unfortunately, a general patch for this is beyond my (current) capabilities, so I'd really appreciate could the two of you agree on a general fix for this. (Even some #ifdef __FreeBSD__ in the Wine sources certainly would be better than having FreeBSD local patches, IMHO.)
