_This_ is insulting.  Neil's absolutely right.

Not to make light of Scott's work, but that's not even CLOSE to being
up-to-date.  The current version of Wine is 1.1.4.  This is what Neil was
talking about.  In fact, if you follow the instructions on WineHQ, you GET
Scott Ritchie's build of Wine 1.1.4 packaged for Hardy, so apparently it's
you who don't know what you're talking about.

Now note, Wine does not consider this a stable build - it is, as Neil
suggested, only for those who want to be on the cutting edge.
