winetrick, dotnet2 and vc80

I just had the misfortune of needing a new wineprefix to try out something 
- and found that dotnet20 (through winetrick at least) doesn't check for vc80
runtime, but once it gets into wineprefix, things go rather bad with any 
wine commands - including winetricks itself - which makes it painful to install vc80 runtime afterwards. 

Please make some vc80 check in winetrick, or make vc80 a dependency
automatic install if dotnet20 is asked for?

BTW, well done everybody for wine 1.0 - still on rc5 but upgrading in the next hour or two!

Cheers...
Hin-Tak
