Like Gabor suggested, a single diff makes it easier to see all that has 
changed.

Just looking at the WINE section:

   "check the Wine AppDB on their main website."

"their main website" could be removed.

Those <programlistings> should be <screen> sections:

<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>chroot /compat/i386</userinput>
&prompt.root; /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start</screen>

And so on.  Note that the ending tag should go on the last line of 
output.  If it is on a line of its own, there's an extra blank line in 
the rendered version.

I suspect it's all or nothing.  Leave them as-is, or change them and 
anything that refers to them.  That may not be too hard; just do the 
whole doc tree.  (Do translators translate ID names?  I don't know.)
