Yes, that's all fine and good, but you don't typically have those 32 bit 
libraries on a 64-bit system. You could put them there, and it would work, 
but (at least with Ubuntu) you're going to be putting them there by hand, 
rather than using something like apt.

e.g.:
$ find /lib /usr/lib -type f |wc -l
19853
$ find /lib32 /usr/lib32/ -type f |wc -l
494

It's certainly not impossible, but it's not that easy. Another option, of 
course, is to find a static build of Wine. I suspect that's how Cedega does 
it.

Nope (at least in Ubuntu 6.10):
$ ls -ld /lib* /usr/lib*
drwxr-xr-x  19 root root  4760 2006-10-25 04:15 /lib
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  2104 2006-11-08 11:28 /lib32
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     3 2006-09-01 23:19 /lib64 -> lib
drwxr-xr-x 181 root root 69720 2007-01-07 11:48 /usr/lib
drwxr-xr-x  16 root root  9080 2006-11-08 11:39 /usr/lib32
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     3 2006-09-01 23:19 /usr/lib64 -> lib
