Actually, it's a little more complicated than that. I am creating the 
initial config from an RPM, giving the winehq RPM as a dependancy. For 
the time being, I solved this problem by having my RPM create a new user 
(which it has to anyways), and copy over a complete .wine directory. 
However, I'm afraid that if things change in the future, the config may 
no longer work as it does. For that reason, I would really prefer to 
have the vanilla config auto-created, and then just add the files and 
registry necessary for my application.

But what about the initial directories? dosdevices? windows/system etc.?

Like I said, that's what I'm using anyways.
