Jeff, Dmitry,

Since any external program would deal with in fact internals of wine -- I never
cannot be sure if I made a full snapshot of wine, or something change.

I don't request auto-snapshot (or time machine) for programs like KMail,
Konqueror, etc. because such program does not run programs within -- only Wine
does. However I _did_ post a wish report for KDE -- because this is the case of
environment where you run other programs within it -- so far, my report was not
closed.

MacOSX has this feature (time machine) and somebody could argue, well, why
don't you use git/svn to make a snapshot of the system. Yet, since the argument
of internals is true for Mac too, it was useful for them, and done, so
regardless of wontfix I still think it would be useful for wine too, and doing
it from outside is a risky task (in terms -- something can be missed from
snapshot).
