Hi,
I have just installed wine in my FreeBSD box. And I have noted that now
it doesn't require you to have also Windows installed.

Here is my proposal: Why don't we add wine to our kernel the same way
we support Linux or ibcs2, by providing the COMPAT_WINDOWS option to the
kernel ? Is it hard to be done ? Is it worth it ?
