http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19615 shows that wine is very nearly in good enough shape to run the fetch-all-the-libs-and-sources script with cygwin, and run the inkscape win32 build system, and pop out a working inkscape.exe. We're just one little leak away from full success, I think.
If you ask me, that's pretty cool.

ulimit -n 10000 was a fine workaround.
The inkscape build too prints out the time to build. Results for both windows and wine were: system 1 system 2 os vista 64 jaunty 64 cpu e8400 q9300 freq 3GHz 2.5GHz cores 2 4 ram 1GB 4GB time 39m 1s 46m 29s
Wine was 19% slower, which is about what you might expect given the difference in core frequency and if only one core was being exercised (which is probably the case). (Note that the vista box had no antivirus utility installed; times would be slower on vista if it had one, I bet.)
I'll repeat the measurements on the e8400 system with linux and wine tomorrow for an apples-to-apples comparison.

Retesting with dual boot shows Wine is a hair faster than Vista on this test. - Dan
