This is true for virtually every program a user compiles and installs. Almost
always the installation is done as root, and there are very few users that
actually audit the source first. We all go on the basis of our trust of the
source. Wine does not present present any special risks in this regard, and
there is no need to treat it differently from any other compiled program, and
long as it is always *executed* as a normal user.
