You can download the source of version 20031212 -- Compiling wine is 
easy; You can download the wine source here:

ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine/development/

You download a tarball, and say,
  tar xzf WINE*.tar.gz
  cd wine*
  ./tools/wineinstall

The wineinstall script will configure, ask wether you want to install - 
and compile (and install) everything; I'd recommend you first remove the 
other wine version to avoid problems;

To clean up, say (in the same directory)
  make uninstall

HTH,
