Win32 binaries and Wine dlls can't find other dlls without it. It's a
dirty hack, yet it works.

Yes, it requires X to run. I don't understand why USE_X11BASE is
necessary, but it simply didn't install/work without it.

This is a kind of dirty hack, too. And the same reason as above
("not work without it").

It will install. However, if it works is a different problem. I'm 
not sure if it works on 1.5.x since I don't have a 1.5.x machine to
test with. One certain thing is that Wine won't be able to run most of
popular Win32 apps on 1.5.x due to lack of clone(2) support and its
inherent instability. Surely it has a lot of design problems not
easily addressable, unlike our most-cleanly-designed OS. ;-)

A new one will be made available shortly.
