Afaik, the mono-wine stuff is old and deprecated, and should not be used. The current method is to use wine+winelib. I've not had time to get winelib into portage, as i didn't have room on my dev box for wine to compile last i tried. I will attempted to get that done sometime this week. Will check with todd, and then remove mono-wine as this is a *very* outdated package.
Okay, tonight i've added the winelib package to portage, and removed the old outdated mono-wine. Marking FIXED. If you have issues with the new winelib, please open a new seperate bug.
