OK, thanks for the list!

All I have personally right now is
http://kegel.com/wine/qa/

It would be a great help to me if people could try the latest wine in cvs
and then file bug reports at bugs.winehq.org for
their gotta-have apps that don't run.  The web page I mentioned above
is intended to help people get started testing wine and filing or triaging bugs.
Wine has really come a long ways lately; things that wouldn't install
in the past are much more likely to install successfully now.  The battle
is moving towards getting the installed apps to run properly, and
things are really looking up there, too.

Thanks,
Dan
