Package: wine
Severity: wishlist

Wine's HTML renderer is a custom-compiled version of Gecko. It can be
downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241
as wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab, there are also sources there. When any application
needs HTML rendering, Wine will automatically download it from there (if
possible) and unpack it into the user's .wine directory, but it would be
nice if it was already provided as a Debian package, to save the download.

Hence, a wine-gecko package that provides the wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab file,
which should be placed into /usr/share/wine/gecko (Wine looks for it there;
if found, it grabs it instead of trying to download).

Note that, even though the source code is free, the contents of the .cab file
cannot be built on Linux (it must be built with MSVC), which means this
package would probably have to go into contrib, not main.
