Yes, please. It's a very common problem.

On that note, why does 'wine foo.exe' default to the 32-bit binary before the
64-bit binary, when in a 64-bit prefix? Why not:
wine32 -> 'wine32' 
wine64 -> 'wine64'
wine -> 'wine64', if 64-bit prefix, else just 'wine'

I've searched around a bit, but haven't found an explanation.
