I wonder why Wine doesn't have those libraries on standby. I can understand keeping installer/total install size and footprint down for any application but especially emulation which is already complex and going to push hardware. If Wine includes the right components, what performance hit may be suffered? Or maybe I have this wrong and it won't really matter.

Yeah, it doesn't really matter as wine would just have to load the 32 bit libraries from a different location (say, /usr/lib/wine/lib32 instead of /usr/lib32). Also, Wine is not that kind of emulator. It provides windows-compatibile libraries but does not do CPU emulation so there's no real significant performance hit.

I doubt packaging graphics drivers is feasible for Wine, and those are target important for games...
