Note that it *is* allegedly possible to get the kernel to recognise that
this file is a Windows executable and pass it over to Wine to run. This
uses the binfmt_misc module, which is in all the FC3 kernels that I
currently have installed.

This seems a good starting point:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt

(I don't think anything has changed here for 2.6).
