Keep Wineinstall... it's vital.
OK, let's keep it, but let's migrate everything interesting from it into configure.ac, Makefile.in, or winecreateprefix. Then wineinstall can just be the one-line script configure && make depend && make && make install and we won't have to ask people which way they built wine; with or without wineinstall will yield exactly the same results. - Dan
As strictly a user, I think that Dan's idea is great. If wineprefixcreate did all the stuff that wineinstall does, then there would be no need for wineinstall. Since the two processes are currently different--and I am one who prefers wineinstall also--installing wine, depending on the method used, can create some confusion.
