Have you had a chance to take a look at my packages? I took the time
to separate each patch out so that you'd be able to integrate them
into your git tree without to much trouble.
Note that building wine-gecko also requires an updated version of
mingw-w64 (used to produce an updated replacement for
mingw32-runtime).
You've convinced me as far as requiring wine-gecko is concerned,
which, given the new build environment involved, means pushing for
release in squeeze is unrealistic.
The one thing I do hope now is that you'll accept the various offers
of help you've received so that squeeze+1 can have a current version
of Wine when it comes out!
