Hello!
When trying to set up printing from Wine on Fedora Core 4 for x86_64, I have discovered that Wine fails to find many libraries, including libcups. It turns out that the development packages on Fedora Core 4 don't always provide *.so symlinks for 32-bit libraries. So I wrote this script.
The script creates all missing links in one directory (/usr/local/lib is the default). Not only was libcups found next time, but also the old workaround with imake has become unneeded. The configure script runs out-of-box and finds X11 libraries.
I'm posting the script here in hope that it will be useful for some Wine users. I'm not sure it it merits inclusion in Wine, but I would not object.

Fedora should probably provide foo-devel-32bit development packages too.

They are provided for some basic libraries, such as zlib and ncurses. Other libraries, such as cups, as missing, but my script can remedy it, because the only missing file is the symlink to *.so for the linker.
Unfortunately, openssl support cannot be fixed by the script since /usr/include/openssl/opensslconf-i386.h is missing. That's where a development package would be very helpful.
I see it's not fixed in RawHide yet, so we'll have to deal with such issues for some time.
