Wine supports 16 bit apps, just not as well as 32-bit. Dan had an intern work on a 16 bit test suite (http://code.google.com/p/win16test/), which can be used to test 16 bit support, fwiw.
Yes, this is what I meant to refer to. AFAIK this test suite isn't part of Wine because it needs Open Watcom. Now it seems gcc could be used (perhaps with some help from winegcc). There's more at http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/i386_002d16bit.html
What is wrong with OpenWatcom? It is an open source development toolchain, with experimental linux binaries, yes, but they do work the last time I checked (which was when 1.8 release came out).
