Right now, I am looking at five potential milestones:
- wine (we are already working on that, see the progress in the wiki)
- nspluginwrapper/flashplugin
- virtualbox_ose (needs a real multilib compiler to build on x86_64)
- skype (needs qt, which is huge, so maybe this will take a while)
- SDL and friends, to support binary-only 32 bit games

I do not see the need for any more packages than that, and my hope is
that the number will reduce over time, not increase.
