Now how to solve the winelauncher wineboot launch problem ?
This needs to be done on first launch only, and it needs to avoid race
conditions.
Maybe we could add the lockfile command (courtesy procmail) to Wine
and implement it with that ?

I think we need a well defined notion of 'boot'

What about this: on server startup, we do this:

   if (wine_need_reboot())
	spawn("wineboot");

The thing is:
  1. dead simple
  2. atomic, avoids races
  3. fast

Surely I may be missing something, but what's wrong with the above?
(mind you, I know nothing about the server, but still... :))

Ever since this discussion has started, I am thinking of doing the above on server _shutdown_. But I always had (and have) the feeling that I am missing something.
