    I agree with this, and the package I'm building relies
on winelauncher.  In fact, I rename the wine binary to 'wine.bin'
and install winelauncher as 'wine'.

    Marcus uses a similar approach in his package.

    I'd like to formally rename the wine binary loader file
to something other than wine.  I was thinking wineloader.   

    I would then symlink 'wine' to winelauncher, just as I 
have done in the package.

    As a sales point, I've hacked winelauncher (see subsequent
patch) to be very intelligent about establishing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and the PATH.  Thus, you can do:

    cvs co wine
    ./configure
    make depend && make
    wine /c/windows/sol.exe

Without having to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or PATH.
