In this case, it's necessary. I've already tried a regression test without
reinstalling the game, and found that once the registry entries for gameux are
made, if gameux is in the build tree (as it will be after the first bad
bisect), all subsequent bisects show up bad, even for Wine versions that are
definitely good.

There were 4 gameux patches added in between 1.2 and 1.3.0, and they don't
revert cleanly. I can tell you that Wine up to the patch immediately before the
first gameux patch is good. I'm building Wine now with the first gameux patch,
which I expect will break it. (If it doesn't, I'll move on to the next, and so
on.) So hold off on the regression test for now.
