Not sure if this is the best place to bring this up, but I'm not sure 
it's "ready". The problem is it runs through the terminal the Wine was exec'd 
from. When Wine is run from the desktop manager's menu, or started in the 
background (eg. wine foo.exe &), if wcmd is subsequently exec'd, it will 
become completely unuseable since it has no input, and potentially no output, 
terminal. It then has to be killed through the kill or killall command.

To be "ready", wouldn't it need to open up its own terminal window for input 
and output in Wine's desktop space (eg. the virtual desktop if it's in use, 
or the standard desktop)? It doesn't really feel like a Windows application 
since it relies on the currently running terminal.
