Looks like you overreacted, http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/ has nothing to do with darwine except using its name.
Actually, I have Mike's code and it uses the Darwine build system and applies two patches to it. One brings in FontForge so that Apple Native fonts will work in Wine, and this is discussed on the Building Wine for MacOSX web page. The other fixes a known problem for Leopard's handling of screen location (it does not always use :0.0 for security reasons). I will suggest that he bring back into the Darwine project his fixes. I think he already has tried but received no response from the Project.
As to the rest, AJ has stated, repeatedly, that he wants no Obj-C in the Wine tree. This prevents bringing in some Mac specific code, and completely eliminates the winequartz.drv project. I'm not going to argue with his reasoning, but this forces a Native version of Wine to be a continuous fork with fixes in Wine requiring fixes (if winex11.drv is changed) in the code.
As to support for the Mac, I have been doing what some Mac users are doing now: Building my own. Unfortunately, I do not have a place to put my builds where the public can download them. Also, they contain code that has not been approved for the main Wine build and may contain 'dangerous' code. I'm willing to risk my system's stability to test, but not others.
