I think the reality is that winecfg is going to hang round for a while.
   I only see patches adding to its functionality, and nobody is removing
config options.  Having a configurationless Wine is a lofty goal, but
not one that's achieveable in the short term.

It would be nice to spend a little bit of time to fix up the usability
issues that Felix has pointed out.  Opening a new window for app
specific overrides might be hard, but it would make alot more sense.

The big problem with Wine is that every time something gets improved 
something quits running.  This is normal for any development and can't 
be helped.  If there were 10 times the effort put into Wine we might be 
able to get rid of winecfg but not as things are.  There simply isn't 
the manpower.
