@shardul wine works! what doesnt work out-of-the-box is qemu+wine. ive read someone running qemu+wine for statically linked libraries, but things are not so easy for dinamically linked ones

The package description sums it up pretty well.
Please see http://maemo.org/packages/view/wine/
Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)
Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux.
This version of wine is built for the ARM cpu and can NOT run i386 native Windows
applications. Only ported Windows applications compiled for ARM will work.

Oh yes you can! Install from extras-devel repo

Are there any Windows programs that have been (or can easily be) ported to ARM but not Linux (due to the difference in APIs)? If so then this could be useful. I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Wine will work. But if you intend to run x86 windows programs then that's something different.
