The mono thing convinced be because of the command line example you gave. I just run the command with mono in front of it. My impression of wine was that you ran wine, and then ran things in that environment. But it has been a long time since I looked at it so I might be foggy on it.
Nope, with Wine it's just the same: "wine something.exe". Then all calls to the Windows API get handled by Wine. Since the mapgen makes some calls to the VisualStudio C++ DLLs over fairly new interfaces, Wine has problems to load them correctly (it tells the program "nope, you don't have this"), but if you use the DLLs which I linked then that problem has been taken care of.

I do agree that it would be nice to get away from crutches like Wine and get more cross-platform code from the beginning, though, even though it works via Wine. But fortunately we already have a positive response to that.
