I guess I was wrong.

all the registry stuff wineinstall does I have always done by hand.

approximately, (edit <wine>/winedefault.reg so the debug entry has the
unix path to the debugger, normally /usr/local/bin/winedbg (this should
be reachable by a dos drive - I map one to /usr/local/bin)).

cd <wine>/programs/regapi
make
make install
cd ../..
regapi setValue -- -force <winedefault.reg

No, you won't damage the real windose registry.  Wine doesn't write to
that, ever, unless some windows program tells it to.  It writes all its
registry stuff to files in WINEPREFIX (~/.wine).

To copy the registry, export it to a file with regedit.exe, I think, and
feed that to regapi.

cat exported-registry-file | regapi setValue -- -force

I will look at wineinstall some more though, - tomorrow.
