Wine #33

It would be great if Wine was available to install through PA.

The cool thing is that all Wine's data is automatically stored inside a Wine prefix, which defaults to ~/.wine already.

If 32-bit dependencies are a problem, I suggest supporting only Wine's WoW64, even though it's considered experimental.

I suggest taking pre-built Wine with WoW64 support from:

https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds

Example: https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds/releases/download/10.13/wine-10.13-staging-amd64-wow64.tar.xz

Also, I suggest automating the installation of Mono and Gecko as well for the best user experience.

You can use this script: https://github.com/scottyhardy/docker-wine/blob/6284e6ab06aef285263d1f77a5b1554afb1e83d9/download_gecko_and_mono.sh

Except changing /usr/share/wine to <wine install dir> to make it fully portable.

What do you think?
