I will fight you tooth and nail on this. It might even come down to a
Dance Dance Revolution Dance off.  If we can distribute it under the
Fedora brand, we must have a version that runs natively before we
consider a windows cross-compiled binary that runs under wine.  I
personally draw the line there. Native first, emulated second. If
native doesnt work, get it fixed, or its not going to be part of
Fedora.
