wineprefixcreate is executed only if the user calls wine without having a
'.wine' directory in place at all. What this means is that there is no 
registry and no configuration at all at this time. So there is no way that 
the user has already configured a "/Win98" as the system directory or 
somesuch. wineprefixcreate is meant to install a default configuration for 
users who don't have the knowledge or the desire to do so on their own. The 
configuration it installs is a good starting point to be tailored to your 
needs, though. It won't be touched by wineprefixcreate again, once it is 
generated.

That said, the line of code you are refering to is not from me. I've only 
added the call to winecfg.
