[Request for feedback] Improved DirectX in Wine ports (packages available)

[David Naylor]

Hi,

I made an error in the wine-cs.conf file below.  Instead of installing i386-
wine-cs it was directed to the normal wine repository.  If you  used the repo 
approach to install wine-cs please try again (I have fied the wine-cs.conf 
file).  

Regards
