Write a section on WINE in the freebsd virtualization handbook chapter

completed by: Bharath Mohan

mentors: Ulrich Spörlein

Description of task

There is a howto in the FreeBSD wiki on how to use WINE to run certain software on FreeBSD that are not natively available:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine

We want to have this in a separate subsection in this FreeBSD handbook chapter: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-host.html
If possible, the howto needs to be tested whether it still works as described with the current version of WINE available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

Task requires:


A FreeBSD system (in a VirtualBox Virtual Machine) installed on your computer. 
Knowledge of the documentation guidelines for the FreeBSD project: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/
