Hi all,
A patch just submitted to wine-patches changes the rules when building binary packages of WINE for distributions. This is an optional change, so ignoring this email will not break anything, but will result in decreased functionality.
During the configure phase ./configure will now check for the availability of the libfribidi header files. These are typically distributed in a package called "libfribidi-dev". I would highly recommend installing this library on the machine you compile the package on, so as to include the option for BiDi support in the resulting binary.
If the headers are found during compile time, a run time check is performed whether the libfribidi library is available. If it is not, Wine will continue without BiDi support. If it is, BiDi support will (at some future date, admitably) be enabled.
In .deb speak, libfribidi-dev is build recommended for wine src. libfribidi is suggested for wine.

Sorry, completely wrong channel ;-)
This one should go into the Wine Packagers Guide instead.
