On the other hand, without wine (and mono) I couldn't run WIX on Linux.

  If I couldn't run WIX on Linux then I could not build WIndows 
Installer Packages on Linux.

  If I couldn't build WIndows Installer Packages on Linux then I would 
not be able to have one script building for both Linux and Windows targets.

And then what would be the point of having cross-compilers and cross 
platform libraries in the first place.
