The OP wants to run picasa on FreeBSD. I suggest above to use the  
FreeBSD wine instead of the linux wine which comes with picasa. Maybe  
we're able to run picasa with our native wine instead of the linux  
wine which does not work on the linuxulator (and we don't intend to  
fix the linux wine issue in our kernel, as it would not only pessimize  
the context switching of linux programs, but also all FreeBSD  
programs). So the only person reaching into advocacy-land is you.

You are addressing this to the wrong people. flz said in the PR he is  
doing it ASAP, so you should talk to him, not to emulation@ or  
advocacy at .
