I assume, athough it's not *that* clear to me that the product of the excersise is a straight elf binary that I can run from a prompt.
Actually, you're supposed to end up with a .so, which Wine can load after bootstrapping. Then your application launcher is either a symlink to Wine itself (after booting, Wine will look at how it's invoked and look for a .so of the same name in the same directory), or it can be the wineapploader shell script. The winelib executables that come with Wine, such as winecfg, use wineapploader. Or you can simply invoke your Winelib executables by typing "wine appname", where appname is the name of your .so file.
As for reliability, I've seen someone claim to use Wine to run mission-critical web services because it crashes less often than Windows, so there's hope.
