Please, explain why you think it was removed for a reason. I don't see a good
reason in this at all. Also, please, refer me to the discussion you mentioned,
I don't seem to be able to find anything by searching for WINEPATH or WINETEMP
on winehq.org and the whole web.

This is a quotation from the man page of wine:
"wine makes the environment variables of the shell from  which  wine  is
started  accessible  to  the  windows/dos processes started. So use the
appropriate syntax for your shell to enter  environment  variables  you need."

Then the available variables are listed, like WINEDLLPATH for example.
So, why is it that WINEPATH or WINETEMP is not passed as PATH and TEMP
respectively to the Windows process anymore? You can do exactly the same on a
Windows shell, but without the WINE prefix of course.

I really have a hard time understanding why my request is opposed and rejected.
My experience of reporting my first bug wasn't pleasant, and I'm nearly put off
enough not to report a helpful bug again.

I'm sorry, it's not meant to piss anybody off, but I have to insist and reopen
the bug.
