It might work with an eval (not tested):
    eval for JNI_INCLUDE_DIR in $JNI_INCLUDE_DIRS
    do
        CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS '-I$JNI_INCLUDE_DIR'"
    done
But who knows what else that will break!  It fundamentally
changes the way $JNI_INCLUDE_DIRS is parsed.

Besides the eval, note also the single-quotes I've added to the
assignment.  That's so that $CPPFLAGS will be properly quoted
when it's ultimately expanded in command lines.

Indeed!  I've taken to creating C:\Programs, as a place to
install UNIX-derived stuff.  Doesn't help in this case, of
course, since it's the referencing app, not the referenced one,
that cares.

My Wine works.  However it crashes about half the time on startup.
Apparently their simulation of windoze API is getting too accurate.  :)
