Fair enough

Excellent

It is.  Hopefully you'll find a web page that describes it because I won't go
into details that I have not tried out line for line.  Basically, you can use
dpkg-deb --extract to extract the files from a .deb archive into your current
directory.  Since Wine is self-relocatable, it'll run from anywhere.

Then you use
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-1.2 /path/to/wine-1.2.x/bin/wine winecfg
etc. to manage different prefixes, one for each version.  I have approx. 20
such .wine directories...
Then I use symbolic links such that big programs are located once only on the
HD, outside the .wine directories.  Only their registry entries are duplicated.
That's it!
