OK, let's keep it, but let's migrate everything interesting
from it into configure.ac, Makefile.in, or winecreateprefix.
Then wineinstall can just be the one-line script
    configure && make depend && make && make install
and we won't have to ask people which way they built wine;
with or without wineinstall will yield exactly the same results.
