 Looking into the patch, I believe we can avoid the introduction of
 WINE_SLAVE_BUILD by making this
 
   .if !defined(USE_LDCONFIG32)
    USE_LDCONFIG=	${WINELIBDIR} ${WINELIBDIR}/wine
   .endif
 
 and will give it a try.
 
 Also, do we really need the CONFLICTS?  emulators/wine is
 ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386, whereas your port is for AMD64 only.

 As time goes by, 32-bit support in a 64-bit OS becomes less important.
 It has been hugely important for customer in $DAYJOB, and I would not
 underestimate the amount of 32-bit legacy applications out there.
