I thought the user would have to change the limit in their startup scripts
or the like? That isn't going to work, we need it to be fully automatic
with no configuration changes needed.

Sure, we should add it to the wiki page or something ...

Well, using the suid-root bit seems more secure than this ... the limit
allows any application to gain realtime privs easily whereas having wine
acquire CAP_SYS_NICE means only Windows apps can get it (or rather it's
very hard for other apps to use Wine to get it).
