handbook/wine: add Mizuma's source code URL, and small typos
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
1. It's particularly interesting to know what games/apps are currently
"supported" through Mizuma, so it's a good idea to link the source
code URL (winetricks source code URL is also already mentioned.)

2. Remove the word "some" from the synopsis. It's ambiguous to know
the meaning of "some" here, whereas Wine is intended (and does support)
a wide range of Windows applications out of the box.

3. Use the word GitHub instead Github (ignorable).

https://www.winehq.org/[WINE], which stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, is technically a software translation layer.
It enables to install and run some software written for Windows(R) on FreeBSD (and other) systems.
It enables to install and run software written for Windows(R) on FreeBSD (and other) systems.

It operates by intercepting system calls, or requests from the software to the operating system, and translating them from Windows(R) calls to calls that FreeBSD understands.
It will also translate any responses as needed into what the Windows(R) software is expecting.

It contains some automated "recipes" for getting common applications to work on WINE, both by optimizing the settings as well as acquiring some DLL libraries automatically.

* https://wiki.winehq.org/[The WINE Wiki] has a wealth of information on using WINE, much of which is applicable across many of WINE's supported operating systems.
* Similarly, the documentation available from other OS projects can also be of good value. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wine[The WINE page] on the Arch Linux Wiki is a particularly good example, although some of the "Third-party applications" (i.e., "companion applications") are obviously not available on FreeBSD.
