As this myth is floating around on this list since a long time I have
to repeat:

WineTools is not using a deprecated config file. It uses the regular
registry way since a long time.

So this is also not true.

If you use IEs4Linux you are actually using the overrides setup of
WineTools as they took it from us. This also means that you have the
most critisized *=native override included. We are working on this so
you will probably have this on IEs4Linux soon after we fixed that.
