I don't think we should do that. First of all, none of the problems mentioned are wine specific, and I don't think we need to try to fix them like that. Second, as I have already argued, it seems most of our builders from source are already power users, and are most likely used to the configure; make cycle well enough that they don't need the hand holding. In fact, they most likely hate it (as I do). The Linux user landscape has changed quite a bit lately, to the point where having wineinstall probably does more harm than good. -- Dimi.
