Macaw now works in Linux on Wine

As of version 3.02, I have configured Macaw to run in Linux via Wine, which is a Linux program that runs Windows programs in Linux, but not always perfectly. It is not perfect and you have to navigate around some sloppy wine menu rendering, but problems that exited before such as missing fonts and problems with trackbars are gone, so now you can run Macaw and it works about 90% as good as it does in Windows, where Macaw is meant to run.

I tested this in Puppy Linux using an older version of Wine and a really bad window manager, so it probably works better now on newer Linux versions with newer Wine versions.
