Out of interest (I'm sure it's documented *somewhere*) what is the
reason for the C drive to be under ~/.wine such that it's 'hidden'?

It's always seemed strange given that copying data files to locations
under the C drive seems a reasonable thing for users to do every so
often, yet a lot of graphical file browsing tools won't show dot files /
directories without reconfiguration.

Just seems an odd default to me, although not that big a deal. (I tend
to do most of my work from a shell, so I don't care personally :-)
