WINE & prelink

[Vitaly Lipatov]

Can anyone explain here or at http://wiki.winehq.com/ about prelink usage in 
WINE. Is it necessary for build process?
I see it is recommended at http://wiki.winehq.com/Recommended_Packages

It's used in an attempt to fix the load address of a few builtin dlls 
(ntdll, kernel32, user) so that Windows programs that rely on the 
address being the same across different programs work correctly.
