Sure, but as Wine developer it's easy for you to write a small wrapper
script to run from inside the source tree. That doesn't mean we should
encourage it or make that the default behavior. I think it's perfectly
standard to expect that you need to install a library before building
an app that uses it, all other libraries behave that way. And we are
not going to stabilize our environment if nobody ever uses it the way
it's intended to be used.
