Extracting packages / tarballs might be enough... (mounting everything
they can write to noexec might work... $HOME, /var/tmp /tmp comes to
mind...)

I'm not aware of any special considerations for Wine ehen it comes to
permissions... (Except that the user needs to own $WINEPREFIX)

My guess would be:
chgrp WineUsers /usr/bin/wine*
chmod o-wrx /usr/bin/wine*

chgrp -R WineUsers /usr/lib32/wine
chmod o-wrx /usr/lib32/wine # might differ depending on distro

(doing it just on wineserver might be enough...)

The paths are probably distribution specific... (I'm on x86_64 Ubuntu Jaunty)
