All things considered, this should be very good news for Linux users. We can play SP again without having to do any hacking/editing of files.

This is definitely good news - I'll have to try it.

Looks like I just finished patching and re-building WINE 1.1.5 for nothing then.

I'm playing a PBEM WinSPWW2 game and it kept on crashing on me mid-turn while running under a patched WINE 0.9.43. So I grabbed the WINE 1.1.5 source, patched, re-built and just substituted it for the 0.9.43 version (leaving the override DLLs in place mind you).

Made it through the turn without a crash and noticed some fancy new cursors as well (for example when targetting smoke). I have not tried MOBHack at all.
