As strictly a user, I think that Dan's idea is great. If 
wineprefixcreate did all the stuff that wineinstall does, then there 
would be no need for wineinstall. Since the two processes are currently 
different--and I am one who prefers wineinstall also--installing wine, 
depending on the method used, can create some confusion.
