* And how Wine benefits from ReactOS -- the thing the wine people want to
  hear.

The answer is simple. ReactOS will call users and developers from the Windows world that will code and test for ReactOS, that will mean they will be coding for Wine indirectly. Wine does not offer too much attraction in my opinion, is difficult to find people running Linux needing to run Windows programs (even more with Wine being  incompatible with windows in some areas, I have heard of people complaining about Wine, some say Wine is slow others say I runned x  program in Wine, on the next release it didn't) and Windows users usually do not even take a look to Linux. Finding developers and developer that develop for free is even harder than to find users. So it will help Wine a lot. Even more I think that ReactOS is going to help in the future more to Wine than what Wine will help to ReactOS.
