The DragonFly team tends to take a less conservative view than FreeBSD core;
if you can get this Jonathan Fosburgh fellow to mail 
submit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the needed changes, it can get talked about,
at least.

I haven't run WINE on a DragonFly system myself; I don't know what the
status is.  Since DragonFly forked from FreeBSD 4.8, Wine may still work
now if it worked with 4.8.
