Running self-voicing games under Wine

[Rynhardt Kruger]

Hi,

This is possible. I've successfully played alien outback, monkey business, GMA tank Commander and others. Some games 
are a bit difficult to get running though. For most games you need to install the vb6 runtime. You should be able to 
do that with the winetricks shellscript (available from the wine website).
As wine is inaccessible to orca, it is a bit difficult to install games as the install process don't speak. To this end 
I've modified the wine user32.dll.so library to at least speak the label of a button when it receives focus -- this 
makes it a bit easy er. I can upload it to dropbox or something if people are interested.

Take care,

Rynhardt
