See also http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/07/msg00007.html I kind of doubt it will ever make it in to ubuntu.
When I tried building win16 binaries with the Linux version, there were lots of path problems. That was two years ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're still there.
These two things together make me suspect that installing the windows version in Wine is the way to go. We could make a script that does that in an alternate prefix and provides wrapper scripts that hide the wine-ness of it to some extent, maybe. That could be done as a stopgap while the test suite is refreshed and gotten ready to add into the wine tree. Once that's far enough along, it might then be worth looking at getting the linux version working and into a PPA. Or vice versa. Wish I had time to play with this stuff.
I would really be happy if somebody got the win16 test suite into the wine tree! - Dan
