Does this mean I'm going to get to play Diablo 3 on Minix 3?

Interesting read, thank you for sharing it. I can't for the life of me
think of any Windows apps that I personally would want to run in BSD.
Granted, I didn't think very hard. LoL. On my main rig (Arch Linux),
the only thing I have ever run in Wine is World of Warcraft and I
found the performance to be less than acceptable.

LTSpice is a software I need Wine for.

Here's my slightly odd use case: I use MinGW-w64 and Wine to work on
Win32 toy programs on Debian, where I use pkgsrc for disposable up-to-
date packages where I need them over the stable Debian base.

That is an absolutely awesome use case!

I NEED a script to autoinstall it. Or even better - it should just go
to the Pkgsrc!

Old machine / long time ago, I assume? Say what you will, Linux has
made extreme progress as far as gaming (even wine) is concerned.
