platform-independent

I have build an installer using NSIS. And now I want to extend it to Solaris and Linux thorugh WINE. But I wanna know few things here-

Is WINE flavour dependent? I mean are there different packages for different Linux versions?
Whats if my Installer creates some SQL or Oracle database? Will this feature be also supported by WINE?
Is there any tool which can be used to build installer which is platform independent?
