Assuming the misunderstandings of February have been resolved and there is now a definite direction for Mono-Wine-Winforms, could someone please post and / or e-mail me rather explicit directions for how to build the latest -- even if imperfect -- Mono-Wine-Winforms solution?  As I look through the message threads, go-mono compile instructions, etc., I have to admit to (newbie) confusion re:
 
a) pre-requisites -- should there be a pre-install of Mono and/or Wine before building?
b) pre-requisites -- Peter says to be certain to have the latest version of cairo and libgdiplus from CVS ... which CVS?  I'm not "seeing" either at anonymous@anoncvs.go-mono.com:/mono <mailto:anonymous@anoncvs.go-mono.com:/mono> 
c) pre-requisites -- Peter indicated the one patch in CVS along with his readme, and then attached another patch or two in his Winforms-list message.  I also note ROUGE Alain mentions an mcs-0.30.patch.  What is the complete set of patches to be applied, and to what source?  What is the source for that source?  (whose CVS servers?).
d) final "baking" ... make what, in what order, and using what make flags?
e) Where does the CVS folder \mono\mcs\class\System.Windows.Forms\WINELib ... the "stub" ... fit into things, if at all?
f) Whatever else one needs to know ... what foot to stand on while doing this, what phase of the moon, what day of the week ... we all know that it's "magic" that holds code together, so I'd really like to know this particular magic.
 
Finally, it would be **great** if the tutorial could instruct how it might be done on a SPARC machine (if Winforms can work on mono-mint).  However, it will be **just fine** if the tutorial could instruct me sufficiently that I could pull this off on my new 2.8 GHz/Intel/SuSE laptop.
 
****Bottom line:  I'd like to be on "the bleeding edge", and I don't mind bleeding a little -- but I'd prefer not having to bleed to death. :)  ****
