My understanding is:
1) Wine is limited to x86.
2) WineLib is supposed to be portable, but has not/may not get to the Mac.

Don't be so hasty. While I've never tried it, Winelib may in fact work
fine on *any* Unix-like system, no matter what hardware. Winelib is a
subroutine *library* that provides the Windows API. It is a subset of
Wine, which emulates the Windows *operating system*, to the extent that
it even runs programs compiled for Windows.
I'd suggest checking at www.winehq.com to see what the portability
status if winelib is. (Quickly checking, there's no mention of anyone
actually trying this... Maybe it won't work...)
