As a Win developer, I want to make a suggestion (sorry if it was already discussed - or if similar mechanism already exists): What if some simple way will be provided for Win developers to say which options they prefer for WINE to use for their application? While it may seem to somewhat contradict to the 'big bright future' of the WINE (with all the apps running flawlessly under WINE), it would hopefully allow for immediate increase of out-of-the-box supported applications.

For example, it could be a resource string of special format (for example, "__WINE_CONFIG_HINT: "Managed" = "N""), and multiple hints should be allowed. This hint should override system-wide settings but in turn should be overridden by per-app settings in wine config file/registry.

This will just allow developers to hide bugs in wine and slow development even further, I thing it's a bad idea.
