More consistency, mainly.  Sometimes things go to
c:\windows\profiles\Administrator (regardless of
username), and othertimes they go to
c:\windows\something or other.

That, plus I only have an NT-ish system around to test
with at the moment :)

It does, but so's the current code, which writes to
~/.wine/drive_c/My Documents or some such place.

When I run wineprefixcreate I only get two drives, c:
and z: (which maps to /).  Should there be a $HOME
drive mapping, and should I point the "my documents"
directory to that instead?  I don't think populating
your home directory with a "Temporary Internet Files"
and a "Templates" directory is actually a good
thing--these should probably be hidden in the fake
drive c:.
