           Summary: cscript crashes if you call WScript.Arguments(0).
                    Breaks Chromium build setup.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.27
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/tools/depo

Chromium has a nifty self-bootstrapping source code management
script (see http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-gclient )
gclient downloads svn for you before it runs it.  This used to use
a little wget binary checked in to the source tree (!) but now uses
a little javascript script, get_file.js 
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/tools/depot_tools/bootstrap/win/get_file.js?revision=14457&pathrev=14457
(which looks pretty similar to the vb in
http://www.xefteri.com/articles/show.cfm?id=7 )

If you read the script, it's kind of scary; there's ADO and all sorts
of weird shit going on, just to download a file.
And since it uses cscript, I think you have to do 'winetricks wsh56' to try it.
But guess what Wine fails on?  After a little effort,
I reduced that script down to the single line:

WScript.Arguments(0);

Yup, that crashes.  But if you do 'winetricks dcom98', it succeeds.
