The s2png program can be written in about 5 minutes by anyone with a good image library in any language. You didn't even write the program yourself, you linked to a Sourceforge project, labeled version 0.01, that hasn't been touched in seven years.
And I don't understand: What exactly is the value-add of your Github project? It 7zips the files and handles splitting and merging of large files?
And wait...you actually had to use Wine for this? Try apt-cache search libgd and you'll find the (single!) dependency is already packaged (at least on Linux Mint 14, which I presume means these packages also exist on most Ubuntu- or Debian-like systems):

Yes. It also handles the uploading and the downloading.

If you actually try to compile and run s2png you'll see that it segfaults when you compile it in Ubuntu 12.10 (so also in Linux Mint 14) and 12.04, probably because it was written with libgd1 in mind. I had a few people try it and it only compiled to a usable binary in Fedora.

This is utterly trivial.
