Yes, wineinstall sets up your  ~/.wine/config file and the default 
registries in addition to compiling wine so most of the time if you 
already have these set up then it is not nessesary to use wineinstall.

However the structure of both the .wine/config and registries and thier 
contents has changed over time and as new features are added to wine. 
 For example over time more functionality has been added to the various 
dlls and in the default config file various dlls now default to builtin 
rather than native. So running wineinstall once a month and letting it 
overwrite your old config is not a really bad idea.  Your old config is 
called config.sav and you can run "diff -u config.sav config>config.dif" 
to see what it has changed .
