I agree with you, but in that case, setup.exe wouldn't
have function by the past ...

Has been made many times by us... and then more web
sites are talking about compatibility of their
programs
with Wine. Let's take HeadLight Software example.
After a few bug reports, they put a page about Wine
and GetRight ... it's running properly under Wine
today.

Not only. Cygwin Bash is doing (maybe ?) unwanted
access to COM1 port when run under Wine for example

Please give me a try : Cygwin & Wine are 2 power
companies... It would be great to make a dialog to fix
problems of the BOTH parts, not only one...
You 'll only have benefit


Note that I use both Wine and cygwin today...
