[Wine] WOW "fixes"

What I meant is, well, in order to submit some tips & tricks you have
to --create-- a new version (log in to become an application
maintainer) and pass through the whole process in order to just add
some quick tips. For example I just read some of the versions in
Half-Life 2, and I found useful stuff (well, maybe not for me 'cause I
don't have it, but some might do) "hidden" in the description of those
versions, which could be well-placed in the frontpage of the current
app's version. Comments also count too, and can help for other
versions.

My point here is, that for giving some quick tips & tricks for making
the game/app run better/faster under WINE you need to create a new
version, and other people who might want to have a "broader view" of
those, can't.
