One could just offer a script that toggles the version of Wine being
used. Click on the script, dialog box pops up "Windows programs will
now be launched using Wine[X]", and maybe some more information
regarding the suitability for games vs applications. On a Debian
system, this would be handled through the alternatives system; the
script just cycles through the available alternatives picking the next
one each time it is invoked. On other systems, you can use /proc to
modify the executable being used to launch anything with a PE header.
