I haven't been villified yet, so let me try harder.  Should winetricks
be committed to the winehq tree?  It would be handy for people
triaging Wine bugs to see if e.g. native dcom, odbc, or corefonts
hide a bug.

I've uploaded a new version to http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Mainly it adds a -q option to make all the installers quiet,
but it also includes lots of little improvements sent in by
Detlef and Saulius.

Here's the new usage message:

Usage: winetricks [options] package [package] ...
