It's still no, but for wine and mapm3, I installed a wrapper script  
to set needed environment variables. Check it out. I recommend the  
mechanism used by mapm3; I'll change the wine port's method to use  
mapm3's method soon. (Put the real binary in ${prefix}/lib/${name}/;  
put the wrapper in ${prefix}/bin/ and write it to cd to ${prefix}/lib/ 
${name}/ and run the real program with the same arguments.)
