wineprefix for the installed .exe and .dlls? as in ~/.wine/ ? 

A 64bit install and/or a 32bit install will use just 1 wineprefix
(~/.wine)

If the setup is done by the 64bit binary, it will be set up in away
that both 64 and 32bit windows binaries will work.

But 64bit and 32bit ~/.wine are not seperate.
