If you want setup-wine.sh to be generally useful, I'd suggest - moving the dangerous rm -rf logic to the fabfile instead - having it set up into a user-specified directory instead of ~/.wine. My ~/.wine already has stuff in it... With wine it is very trivial to create a new "windows VM" -- you just set the environment variable WINEPREFIX to point to any directory, which then acts like ~/.wine. It's often recommended therefore to install every windows program into its own pristine WINEPREFIX, so as to avoid cross-contamination, make it easier to blow things away when necessary, and generally avoid the difficulty of actually administering windows.
