Yep, Pingus under Wine works pretty well =:) Works a lot better than a
.deb under a SuSE distro...

0.4.0 is very old and buggy, the blocker/bomber behavour should be the
same as in lemmings in the next release, in CVS you currently can
assign all actions to a blocker, but I haven't found that to usefull,
so I will fall back to Lemmings behaviour, since that will allow more
puzzles.

The die-animation of 0.4.0 got replaced by a less violent one in
0.5.0, the nuke button will probally stay for a while, since it would
be a bit hard to replace it with something else.
