Hi all, I wrote a new imgact function for FreeBSD to start wine automatically as a sort of an "interpreter" for windows binaries. <http://www.mawit.com/~jau/imgact_wine-4.9.patch>
Great idea ! If this small diff gets tested & merged into src/ automatic MS support will be a real plus.
With the weekly proliferation of MS worms, trojans, and viruses, do you *really* think this is a good idea?
As long as people aren't using it to run Outlook the risk shouldn't be so bad. Besides, it's hard enough to get real programs to run under Wine, I can't imagine getting something that hacks multiple parts of the OS and uses undocumented backdoors to hide itself to work in wine is going to be easy.
