I'd like to use Wine on AMD64 but the number of i386 hosts I can build
it is less and less every day :)
Hosting a port *somewhere* would also speed things up for other people.
I could host it at people.freebsd.org (unless I get an objection it's
not appropriate) at least temporary. Contact me in private if you're
interested.

stage of dealing with ports.
