There's now one FIXME in wineinstall, regarding installing the global
registry. Wanting to fix it, I looked for ways to actually do it. Now, I
could just copy the ~root/.wine/system.reg and ~root/.wine/wine.userreg to
$sysconfdir/wine.systemreg and $sysconfdir/wine.userreg in wineinstall,
but this may not be what users really want. I'm thinking that if an
administrator wants to install some piece of software on his system for
everyone else to use, then he would just log in as root, install it, and
then the global registry should just reflect the installed software.

I tried symlinking, but neither direction worked...

If I symlinked from $sysconfdir to ~root/.wine, there's this:
drwx------    9 root     root         1024 Mar 30 19:48 root
(permissions)

And if I symlinked from ~root/.wine to $sysconfdir, then the symlinks
just gets replaced with ordinary files when root saves the registry.

What should the installer do?
