Correct approach to deploy Wine applications

[Andriy Palamarchuk]

I'm currently working on bug 585 - "wine installation
process should install and configure wine
applications".
The first part of the work is done - wine
applications, like regedit are installed by Wine build
process.

I wanted to ask you about correct approach to place
these applications to deploy them.

I think that applications can be called with full
path, with or without extention, names in different
cases. So I'm going to change wineinstall process to
create symbolic links in c:/windows/system32 e.g. for
regedit:

regedit -> /usr/local/bin/wine
regedit.so -> /usr/local/bin/regedit.so
regedit.exe -> /usr/local/bin/wine
regedit.exe.so -> /usr/local/bin/regedit.so

This fixes problems with full path and with using or
not using file extention, but how to handle
case-insensitivity?
Regedit can be called as REGEDIT, RegEdit, Regedit,
regedit. Now multiply this on number of extentions
exe, EXE. This is without considering really fancy
cases, like "ReGeDiT".

Is there a way to handle this problem?

Thanks,
Andriy Palamarchuk
