I've always liked wineinstall, even made a handful of improvements to it.  
Wineinstall was useful for setting up a default configuration but now that we 
setup a default configuration automatically with wineprefixcreate it doesn't 
seem necessary anymore.  Users that compile via source should be fine with 
'./configure&&make' and 'make install' like they use to build and install 
most other programs.
