Wine is very, very heavy on file descriptors. NetBSD, for one, has a
default NOFILE rlimit of 64 -- which is very easy to exhaust in Wine without
repeatedly increasing the limit before running it.
The following patch bumps the soft limit up to the hard limit automatically
during wine_init(). If getrlimit or setrlimit fails, it quietly continues
so as to be nonintrusive. This patch will require an autoconf regen.
