Which is the nature of this bug. :)

Really, what I think we need is configurable *outside of compilation params*
wine logging.   As a user of wine, I'd like to be able to turn on and off
verbose logging when needed.  A simple way may be adding a simple check box to
winecfg to enabling verbose logging, off by default.

So I guess what I am saying is for a technical wine user, this may not be a
bug, but an enhancement request.  However, for a normal user of wine, not
testing, over verbose logging could be a bug considering they are not looking
for logging to begin with.
