Which brings a question: should we add that address to registry so our "Do you
want to download and install Mozilla ActiveX?" thingy to work? Or should we
remove that question all together?

Good question.   One little issue is that that page
says the plugin is very finicky about which version
of Mozilla it works with.  It would probably take
a bit of work to make sure that was all working smoothly.
One might even consider bundling Firefox and the ActiveX control
with binary packages of Wine.  But I think that brings
up another good point: the decision about what to
do about that address probably is best answered by
whoever builds the binary packages.

Well i was not able to install successfully the active plugin, as it
asks for the mozilla binary.
Do we have to install mozilla for windows in wine

Yes.

Sorry, its was not asking for mozilla binary, but about mozilla layout
libraries.
infact it was missing msvcp60.dll
just copy the msvcp60.dll to c:\windows\system32 in wine it installs fine.

IIRC, the maintainer of the Mozilla ActiveX control doesn't have that
much bandwidth to spare on Wine users downloading it, so we needed to
find another place for that file. The logic place is the sourceforge
download servers, but then we need some logic to automatically download
from one of the currently active servers. I sent such a patch a couple
months ago to wine-patches, but it wasn't applied (screen-scraper,
depends on the format of sourceforge pages, etc.).
