I agree that starting with the current scripts is for starters. But we
should do it in a way that is prepared for doing it right, and then
starting with the easier parts of replacing the scripts with the right
libraries.

Obviously there are some very low hanging fruits within the
winetricks-scripts (basically everything that is downloaded from an
open source site).
