Windows Program Support

[Evan]

I hadn't considered the malware aspect, but running any program not in the
official repos opens that door. Running wine apps may actually be safer
since wine never needs root access (the whole win filesystem is contained in
the user's home directory). It could still do a lot of damage though, so
that would have to be looked at carefully.

Can AppArmor differentiate between different apps on wine, or would it view
wine as a single app?
