Fontforge and building wine

It's been mentioned many times, but building Wine
without a recent fontforge yields a wine that doesn't
work too well. Tonight, for instance, I built wine
on an updated dapper system, and forgot; here
are the commands I had to use to recover
(just in case somebody needs to do this again).
The fontforge I chose just happens to be the latest;
the --without-freetype-bytecode option is there
to keep configure from searching the whole freaking
hard drive for the nonexistent freetype source tree.
tar -xjvf fontforge_full-20071110.tar.bz2
cd fontforge-20071110/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/fontforge --without-freetype-bytecode
make
sudo make install
cd ~/wine-git
cd fonts
make clean
PATH=/usr/local/fontforge/bin:$PATH make
