Thanks for the info. I understand that there may be policies against allowing
automatic installation of additional libraries for which you need a license,
and that is sensible. However there are some "tricks" which are of a different
nature,

- There are "tricks" which amount to minor registry hacks (fontsmooth-*,
fakeie6, ...). In my opinion it makes a lot of sense to have these in winecfg.
- There are "tricks" which install free software (gecko, firefox3, vlc, ogg,
[mono?], ...). Software installation is surely more cumbersome to handle than
registry hacks, but there are no licensing issues for these.

Do the above sound like worth making an exception for (especially the simple
registry ones)?
