[oi-dev] Wine and freetype

[Matthew R. Trower]

Wine is effectively screwed due to this. Wine can be built pure 32, pure 64, or 64/32 (multilib). 

The pure 64 wine can only run win64 executables. Much (most?) interesting windows software is still win32.  To run it you need multilib, and for that you need all the 32bit deps that were removed.
