The Fedora 14 RPMs do not work in CentOS due to missing dependencies (liberation-narrow-fonts and similar).

I've left wine 1.3 patched and compiling and installing to /opt. I will check it when I get home.

I plan on creating a standalone RPM of wine-EQ for CentOS 6, with a SPEC file that should allow you to upgrade to the latest version without doing much work.

The problem with this is the way Fedora/RHEL builds wine, it's a set of modular packages. It seems like a lot of work and slightly inflexible to combine them into one RPM but if you're up for it by all means - building a new spec should work fine it's just a lot of effort.

I'm curious, any reason why you wouldn't just run Fedora or a more progressive distribution with newer libraries, or do you have a specific reason to stick to CentOS?
