wont work on powerpc, wine is not a machine emulator, it actually ends up
running windows code on the host machine, so it has to be used on an x86
architecture.

If you want to run x86 stuff on powerpc you will need an emulator such as
bochs or plex86, both of these woudl in theory work on powerpc, dont know how
well though.
