I wasn't even thinking of changing programs. Really I'm just thinking
of users who haven't read the manuals or didn't get as far as one of
thelast things on that list. wineprefixcreate seems about as developer
like as one could possibly get. Just changing the name of
wineprefixcreate to something like WineEnvBuilder or whatever would
probably be a step in the right direction, especially if the word from
on high in the future is likely to follow Alexandre's recent comments.

Anyway, this is a comment from someone that never used
wineprefixcreate because it just sounded dangerous! :-)

Cheers,
