There are many wine packages in AUR and many of them are fairly old 
and/or obsolete, too.

I'd like to clean that up. Here are the candidates:

dwarffortress-wine (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36202)
Reason: Old version, no maintainer, no need (dwarffortress is in 
community/multilib)

kwine (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6498)
Reason: Extremely old (2007), obsolete, dead upstream

wine-chs (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17914)
Reason: Very old wine version, unmaintained

wine-dib (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31499)
Reason: Old wine version and apparently the maintainer is uninterested

wine-starcraft (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41819)
Reason: Very old wine, unnecessary patch and apparently the maintainer 
is uninterested

wine-suse (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37839)
Reason: Unmaintained, bin32-wine-suse exists and is maintained

wine-doors-svn (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11849)
Reason: Unmaintained, dead upstream, dead source

wine-doors (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11823)
Reason: Very old, dead upstream, dead source

wine-forgames (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45631)
Reason: Old, doesn't explain its purpose, seems to be a clone of 
wine-lol (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39529)

winetools (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8913)
Reason: Very old, dead upstream, dead source, obsolete (now in 
winetricks and other helpers)

wuninst-git (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18868)
Reason: Very old, dead upstream, obsolete (now in wine)

wisotool (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37824)
Reason: Old, obsolete (now in winetricks)

wisotool-svn (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37825)
Reason: Obsolete (now in winetricks)

winegame-t (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37830)
Reason: Unmaintained, old, dead upstream

winefix (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17459)
Reason: Very old, unmaintained, apparently dead upstream

Thoughts?
