There are several factors to that equation, and I'm afraid we don't have a firm ETA yet.
Well, this worries me. It sounds like you are planning to do the same thing you did with your DirectX stuff: by making the code available on your site, and promising to release it at some hypothetical future date, you remove all incentive for other people to spend time improving the main Wine, thus ensuring that it always lacks some features. I don't like this at all.
If you can't/don't want to release your code, I'd strongly suggest that you reconsider your strategy of making it publicly available. If it was only available to paying customers, there would at least be a reason for other people to work on a free implementation. But if everybody who needs some feature in Wine can simply download WineX instead, no one will spend time re-implementing that feature. This is beginning to seriously hurt the project, and we need to find a way to address this issue.
