I suggested it to Dan and added it because winetricks is supposed to
be a developers tool and I needed it for a development project. Just
going to getfirefox.com on linux auto detects your platform and of
course I did not want Linux but the windows builds. I thought it might
be a of use if others need win32 firefox for testing, development,
etc.
