Strictly speaking, I am reasonably sure it doesn't _depend_ on WINE, but
merely use it if it's present.

(I reiterate that the parser bug in /usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer
is damning, but note that it seems to be harmless in the general case,
and exploitable only on systems that also have WINE installed.)
