I still have no idea what you're asking for.  What do you want people
to find?  If they need what?  I'm trying to wrap my mind around what
you're saying and pull something out, and the closest I'm getting is
that you feel the err's and fixme's that are output on the console are
useless to most people and you want those removed?  Well, for one,
they aren't useless but are very helpful in helping developers
diagnose a problem.  Also, if you want to turn all output off:

WINEDEBUG=-all
