That is what I have tried, but the only package I can install via the PPA is
1.5.9 and I don't know how to compile the source so that it uses my regular
.wine-folder with the installed game. The instructions found at the link posted
above only describe a procude involving chroot for 64 bit systems (I am using
Ubunut 64 bit).
