+Note that using sudo during the build, such as with 'dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo'
+may fail because wine (which is needed to run mingw32) doesn't like being run
+as root when ~/.wine is owned by a normal user.  The fix for this is to either
+build gzip with another root-gaining tool (fakeroot works fine), or to run the
+entire build as root (ick!).  It may be possible to also solve this with some
+interesting set of wine options, but I'm not motivated to figure that out since
+fakeroot works.
