A self-extracting zip may be an option too, not sure how easy they are to create on Linux. And while you are making changes, adding a checksum would be a good idea. A more ambitious approach would be to define a generic "Wine add-ons" mechanism that could also be used for Mono. This would avoid having detailed knowledge about file formats and download URLs spread around in various DLLs. Maybe this could go in the appwiz control panel, with a nice UI showing which add-ons are installed. -- Alexandre Julliard julli...@winehq.org
