Well, Service Packs on Windows have the option (on by default) to back up all changed files just in case Microsoft suck and blow things up; a Wine upgrade could be considered roughly equivalent to installing a SP if the gap between versions is big enough. Perhaps backing up the old wineprefix and telling the user that it's been upgraded would be a good idea. Will the wineprefix be upgraded with every new Wine release, or just when something actually has to be changed? -- Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
