After testing with the .NET 2.0 installer, I realized something that I'd
appreciate some feedback about: the way I've done this so far creates an
absolute path link.  For example:
/home/ehoover/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/assembly/GAC_32/System.EnterpriseServices/2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a
links to:
/home/ehoover/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/winsxs/x86_System.EnterpriseServices_b03f5f7f11d50a3a_2.0.0.0_x-ww_7d5f3790

It seems to me that this technique has the disadvantage that if users relocate
their Wine directory that these links would break.  So, do you guys think I
should replace "/home/ehoover/.wine/dosdevices/" with the appropriate number of
up directory references (../../../../../ in this case).
