Indeed, but I'm a bit worried of poluting the Unix command
line namespace with such a Windows specific feature...
With your command, what's the difference between
start prog
and
prog &
?
If I'm using bash, I expect Unix-like behaviour.
I only expect Windows behaviour if I use wcmd.
So maybe we can keep it as a separate program,
but install it in a different path that's searched
by default only in wcmd? Say $prefix/wine/bin?
Or $prefix/bin/wine? What does FHS say, if anything?
