That goes beyond my bandwidth (and ability to test etc).  
Aka !HELP!, ¡PLEASE¡

There is a volunteer who has put in significant effort.  Sadly nobody 
has picked up his work.  It would be great if one of you (= other ports 
committers) could help.

   A lot has happened since our last quarterly report. The Wine 4 release
   series has been in our tree for nearly a year and proven rather stable.
   Both that port and wine-devel, which tracks bi-weekly development
   releases, have seen regular adjustments to infrastructure changes and
   small improvements, in particular also around non-default options.

   Now we need help!

   WoW64 (or Wine on Wine 64) allows running both 32-bit and 64-bit
   Windows applications in one installation. A volunteer has proposed
     * a general framework for lib32- companion libraries
       https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16830
     * an approach directly using our Wine ports
       https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242625

   to make this work and we do not have the expertise nor facilities to
   properly review, test, and maintain those ourselves.

   If you can facilitate getting (at least one of) these into the tree,
   please help! And if you'd like to assume co-maintainership or sole
   maintainership of emulators/wine*, that is an option, too.
