I was trying to run wcmd, it seems to have been renamed wineconsole. 

No, wcmd is still there, wineconsole is only the "terminal emulation 
window". If you want wcmd call it something like:
wineconsole --backend=user wcmd

Ok, I gave that a shot:
$ wineconsole --backend=user wcmd
Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin wineconsole.exe --backend=user wcmd ...

wineconsole: spawning client program failed (L"wcmd"), invalid/missing 
command line arguments ?

]$


lrwxrwxrwx  1 now3d now3d 25 2005-05-06 19:36 wcmd.exe -> 
/usr/lib/wine/wcmd.exe.so

That symbolic link is not flashing, but I noticed the file it points to 
does not exist.  I attatched the list of files I do have in /usr/lib/wine/

Is it not possible to just type "wcmd" in bash like we used to be able 
to? could that not be a default or even a shell script which ran 
"wineconsole --backend=user wcmd" if that is now the way to run things ?
Worksforme(TM). Seems your wine installation is broken/incomplete.
I mean both methods work "wcmd" and "wineconsole --backend=user wcmd". 
The later one runs a console which is fully compatible to that on 
Windows and some programs rely on that. And it has also the advantage 
that the wine debugging output (FIXME/ERR) don't clutter the output.
