No, I had written it so it can install new versions too. The bulk of it
only applies to new installations, yes (and is thus not executed when an
existing configfile is detected), but I intended that some things, like
compiling Wine, and installation of new registry keys, should be done for
existing Wine installations as well; new and required keys could be added
in any Wine release, and it at least won't put the user worse off.
Right now regapi doesn't overwrite existing keys (it has a "force" option
to do it, but it's not currently used), so only new keys get added anyway,
which is close to what we want.
