Reinstalling wine and all of its libs makes wine able to start, thanks!

There is something wrong with dependencies now, since ia32-libs doesn't
actually install any of the
32 bit packages it used to, it merely pulls in ia32-apt-get.
It would be nice if there was a package that pulls in everything
ia32-libs used to have, but I can't seem to find one.

So starting 'wine notepad' fails because it can't find libSM.so.6 for
example.

I installed these to get a somewhat usable wine, I don't know if I
missed any libraries:
ia32-libsm6 ia32-libxext6 ia32-libfreetype6

I also noticed that ia32-apt-get created a package called ia32-wine.
Should that one be used now?
(it seems to pull in a lot of ia32- libs as dependencies, which I assume
is good)

However nvidia-glx-ia32 is broken, and there is no ia32-nvidia-glx, so I
manually copied files from /emul to /usr/lib32
(see ,#534873), and now games are working again with wine!
