[Wine] What's the current equivalent of winecheck?

I've been trying to help someone install wine on a Vector Linux system
and it appears to install correctly, but there are loads of problems.
The fixme statements are exactly the same as for another installation
on a different distribution (Mandriva Linux) which works correctly and
exhibits none of the same problems. There used to be a utility called
winecheck which one could run to check the installation. It would go
through and identify problem areas. I can't find this file in the
current source. I found it particularly helpful because, although
computer terms have specific meaning to computer programmers and
developers, they don't have the same specific meanings to computer
users. Winecheck was helpful in figuring out what was really being
asked for. Without understanding that, going through the FAQ or other
documentation doesn't help much; the user is doing one thing, thinking
he or she is doing what's being asked for, but in fact it is something
different.

Is there a current equivalent to winecheck for the beta wine? How is a
user supposed to be able to tell if wine installed correctly?

Thanks,
deedee
