The easiest WINE config would be :
1. A config file pre-configured for a dual-boot computer with the assumption
that Windows is installed in a standard way on drive C:\ (Perhaps a CD-ROM
could be configured for r:\?) -- /etc/wine.conf.windows
2. A config file pre-configured for a Linux-only computer with no Windows
installed -- /etc/wind.conf.linux
3. The "stock" config file -- /etc/wine.conf.default.
If WINE is selected for install, a post-install script could select from one
of the three, copying it to /etc/wine.conf - it could even check for the
presence of C:\ and make the choice automatically.
Then WINE would run "out of the box". If the user later upgraded, then they
would have to determine if /etc/wine.conf was appropriately configured, but
at least they would have a starting point.
I would also suggest that each config file include a few examples of how to
run, from the command line, a few typically-installed Windows programs,
especially those in C:\Program Files (that funky syntax).
If WINE is installed, adding commonly installed programs to AppFinder and
adding them to the menu automatically would be even nicer.
