If you could get SPOTIFY to run on Wine for N900 I'd be a very very very happy man

For those trying out the posted binaries, when you initially try to run wine (using something like "./wine notepad") you will get an error message about an issue with 'winedbg'. At this point you click 'Close', and the message comes up again. You must click 'Close' about 20 times before the application will run, but it will eventually run.
It seems this issue only comes up the very first time you run Wine, as running it later doesn't seem to bring up the annoying error screen.
The keyboard does not seem to work for me, so you cannot enter anything into any form.
I guess we can call this the barrier to entry if you want to try Wine on the N900
Thank you to Onion for bringing us this cool thing to the N900. Please keep up the good work, perhaps even fix WIne on the N900 enough to post it to the repositories.

I'm thinking of using some archaic version of Word. Should suit my typing-on-mobile needs perfectly.
What's that about a X86 emulator? Will nothing work without that?

In this version it seems like the keyboard is not working, which you'd need to make use of MS Word, perhaps Onion can clarify?

- Windows applications are written for, well, Windows, and Maemo is Linux.
- Windows applications are compiled for x86 and the N900 is ARM.
Wine converts system calls for one OS (Windows) to that of another (Linux). So, that helps with #1 above.
So, now we're left with #2, the problem that even if Wine translates system calls from Windows to Linux, they're still gibberish to the N900's ARM processor. We've a fabulous translation dictionary, the best there is, but the person we're giving it to only reads Braille.
So, compiled Windows applications like Word and most games are out. On the other hand, if you have an open source Windows application, you're now closer to getting it running on the N900 without having to port it to Linux.
