Sorry, but there really is no choice at all IMHO.
We have SetComputerNameA().
And this nice function might get called by a program that might want to
check the successful setting of the name upon the next execution by
means of calling GetComputerNameA.
And it will stop working if we reinitialize the computer name to the host
name every time upon startup.
The computer name will be set to the host name upon Wine setup,
so what's the deal ?
It most likely will never be changed by these functions anyway...
(only if a program really wants to, and then it's nearly always based on
user input)
