Darwine site claims that it's under GPL. In any case different name means a different product regardless of claims and intentions. Darwine is not Wine, plain and simple.

This is very true.
Prolog The main purpose is here, like with other people, to have a crossdev option. I just share the outcome, i.e. binaries.
OS X My main concern is to have usable builds. Ie, usable without the need of a terminal. People on OS X don't care about how stuff works, it just has to work.
Vanilla build I totally agree that by adding certain patches, the builds can't be considered as vanilla. I'll recheck the necessity of the patches again on Tiger and Leopard and they really get less and less.
Added libs As pointed out, the build ships with some libs not installed by default on OS X. My solution is to hide them inside the app folder, this way they are not installed in the users /usr or /opt. Drag the folder to trash and they are all gone at once. Clean system. Next try.
Something that I do have to point out is that freetype, a very important library for Wine is not shipped with XCode nor MacOSX. We have to include it. Both MacPorts and Fink's builds make this a dependency and force you to install it. Fortunately, Fink puts it in a place where installing other software with freetype (and the other libraries required for Wine) do not interfere with each other.
Right now, a 'vanilla' build of Wine using just Wine code on MacOSX is not possible. There are dependencies, just like there are on Linux. The X11SDK is not installed and that is just a start...
And Mike's builds are LGPL, just like Wine's.
