You can get transgaming version of Wine from free from CVS. Here how:
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex
login
Hit Enter when prompted for a password
cvs -z -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex co
wine
Then:
cd wine; ./configure; ./tools/wineinstall
This includes most of the transgaming code except for the proprietary
bits that they need to allow encrypted CD's to works.
I tried to install the Wine source from scratch but configure always
bails out on some error.
